  1. JAXA Activities in Earth Observations from Space -- Recent Progress of the GCOM and GPM Programs -- Tomomi Nio EORC / JAXA APSDEU-7 20-22 September, 2006 @ Hawaii

  2. Topics 1. Earth Observation Program Outline 2. Operation Status - TRMM - Aqua/AMSR-E - ALOS - Network Interface 3. Future Program - GOSAT - GPM - GCOM-W/C

  3. 1. Earth Observation Program Outline

  4. The Long Term Plan of JAXA Earth Observation for GEOSS

  5. 2. Operation Status

  6. Current Operation Status 2. Operation Status • TRMM (’97.11- ) almost 9 years old • Post-Operations Phase • Operation has been extended • Aqua/AMSR-E (’02.5- ) • Post-Operations Phase • ALOS (’06.1-) • Initial CAL/VAL Phase

  7. TRMM 2. Operation Status • It is approved that TRMM continues to observe tropical rainfalls until September 2009, with possible additional extension after another senior review, allowing for a possible overlap with GPM. (TRMM may operate as long as September 2012.) • Long, accurate record of quasi-global precipitation  Outstanding research benefit

  8. TRMM 2. Operation Status • TRMM PR algorithm improving activity continues. Version 6 products have been released since May 2004. Version 7 is planned after 2009. • TRMM AO research continues, giving priority to GPM preparatory theme. • TRMM data can be effectively used for GPM preparation activities such as algorithm development and verification. • Smooth transition from TRMM to GPM for research and operational use. • TRMM/PR Version 6 products • PR team is checking version 6 products of standard algorithms 2A21, 2A23, 2A25, 3A25 and 3A26.These algorithms seem to be working as expected. • 8 years of PR data has been accumulated. • Information on structure of precipitation systems brought by PR  Precipitation System Climatology • Estimation of estimated rain rate accuracy including effects of altitude change is important for climate research purpose

  9. Tropical Cyclone Data Base 2. Operation Status • JAXA EORC Tropical Cyclone Data Base • You can search tropical cyclone data observed by TRMM/PR, TMI, VIRS, Aqua/AMSR-E at the same time. • You can access TRMM/PR 3D movies. http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp
