Tidal/Tsunami Data Collection using MTSAT-DCS Doc 5.1(3) Appendix B Implementation – Coordination Meeting on the GTS and ISS in RA V (Hawaii, 2-5 December 2009) Japan Meteorological Agency Please consider our Earth environment before printing
Introduction of MTSAT-1RThe Multi-functional Transport Satellite • Fulfills two functions: a meteorological function by the JMA and an aviation control function by the Japanese civil aviation authority • Succeeds GMS-5, covering East Asia and the Western Pacific (as the sixth geostationary meteorological satellite of Japan) Operational since 28 June 2005 • Data Collection System (DCS) is one of the main functions of MTSAT-1R that collects and distributes in-situ observational data obtained with automatic surface stations (Data Collection Platforms; DCPs), such as an automatic weather station at a remote site, or a tide (tsunami) gauge, or an instrumented ship/island. Almost 100 thousand data are being collected a month. • MTSAT-DCS has sufficient capacity to collect more tsunami data so far.
Preliminary Information of the Follow-on MTSAT series satellites Named Himawari-8/-9 • JMA has made a contract for the manufacture of the follow-on meteorological satellites named Himawari-8/-9. • The Agency plans to launch Himawari-8 in 2014and begin its operation in 2015. To ensure the robustness of the satellite system, the launch of a second follow-on satellite (Himawari-9) for in-orbit standby is also scheduled in 2016. • Himawari-8/-9 will be continued to operate around 140 degrees east covering the East Asia and the Western Pacific as with the MTSAT series. • General objectives ; - Dedicated satellite for meteorological function - Observation mission: Advanced Himawari Imager - Data Collection System Mission JMA will continue the Data Collection System service with Himawari-8/-9, maintaining fundamentally the same specifications as those of the MTSAT series.

Communication range of MTSAT-DCS Note: The communication range of Hiamwari-8/-9 is same as MTSAT-DCS.

Remarks There are some constraints to MTSAT-DCS: • Limited number of channels ---> JMA will coordinate with relevant countriesand organizations, taking into account of the number of available channels and the latest needs of countries, for optimal solution • Reliability is not necessarily 100% ---> Considering the above nature of MTSAT-DCS, it is better to collect tsunami data jointly with other methods; i.e. simultaneous datacollection through landline and via MTSAT-DCSis recommended
