  1. Monitoring of Agrometeorological Information from Satellite • JAXA Earth Observation Research Center has been monitoring the agrometeorological information from satellites to support activities of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. • Processing existing satellite data by the retrieval algorithms developed for the Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) project. • Severe droughts over the United States of America have been observed by the anomaly plots such as of the soil moisture ratio and the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). • Such monitoring activities will be continued by using the latest satellite information such as from the recently launched GCOM-W1 (or SHIZUKU) and future GCOM-C1 satellites (GCOM-C1 provide MODIS like observation using SGLI sensor at 10:30 local sun time (morning orbit) )
