Ocean Productivity and Export Flux Data derived from satellite: Biomass (concentration, type) Temperature Light Winds Eddies Sea Ice Data requiring models Mixed layer Grazing Sinking and advection of POC/DOC There is a large list of non-NASA missions for key data types above. Issues are calibration, validation, data availability, tool for using data, integration of data with models, etc.
Drake Passage: Ice concentration vs Chl-a Ice measured by SSM/I-F13 Bootstraps algorithm, Chl: SPGANT using SeaWiFS Ice concentration is mean for squares 1-3 (next slide), Chl-SPGANT is mean for squares 1-4 (next slide)

High Resolution AMSR-E 89 GHz Sea Ice • http://iup.physik.uni-bremen.de/iuppage/psa/2001/amsrop.html • Daily sea ice maps are provided by a small group at University of Bremen using data from JAXAs AMSR-E sensor on NASA's Aqua Satellite (since May, 2002) . • The main problem is data access and usability: • NSIDC may have all the best data but it is hard to find. • The differences between NASA group and the bootstraps algorithms are confusing • The University of Bremen group provides easy to use HDF data of a single variable: ice concentration. • The NSIDC AMSR-E datasets have 64 (!) different products, including ice concentration but at lower spatial resolution.
1. Mission Concept of GCOM and SGLI • 1.1 Mission target • Global Climate Observation Mission (GCOM) GCOM-W (water) satellite series #1~3 (Jan. 2012~, 13 years) Sensor: AMSR-2 which is a follow-on sensor of AMSR-E on Aqua GCOM-C (climate) satellite series #1~3 (early 2014 (TBD) ~, 13 years) Sensor: Second-generation Global Imager (SGLI) which is a radiometer of 380-12000nm, 250m-1km resolution, and 1150-1400km swath, as a follow-on mission of ADEOS-II/GLI. • Targets of GCOM-C are followings. • Establishment of long-term observation system for the global carbon cycle and radiation budget • Integrated use withother earth observation systems • Contribution to numerical climate models (driving force, outputs comparison, and parameter tuning) • Contribution to operational use (weather forecast, monitoring of meteorological disaster, fishery..) • Enhancement of new satellite data usability
