  1. GCOM-W1,AMSR-E/ADEOS-II Project Update in EORC GCOM Research Group in EORC Masato Yamanashi 29th June 2011, NCDC,Asheville, NC

  2. EORC GCOM Group main tasks and its schedules Issue RA#3 (W1+Multi) W1 Launch Criteria #1 V.1 TB V.1 GEO RA #1 (W1) RA #3 (W1+Multi-sensor research) RA #5 Development Algorithm selection (standard products) Prototyping Implementation Testing/Optimization （Revise every 1.5 or 2 years after launch) Preparation Operation/Improvement Keep(AMSR-E)&Preparation (sites, tools, methodologies) Operational

  3. Standard Algorithms Status of 3rd RA ・3rd RA announced on 21st January, 2011and closed on 25th March ・Research areas(Categories): - GCOM-W1 research: algorithm development, validation, and application research - Multi-sensor research: multi-sensor algorithm development and application research ・The conclusion of Selection will be announced soon, (at early August)

  4. Standard Algorithms GCOM-W1 L2 Standard algorithms for the first data release. ・Decided at the last PI WorkShop in Tokyo, on December 2010

  5. EORC Homepages

  6. Data Distribution System Top page of Data Distribute System Developed by GCOM project Group

  7. Data Distribution System Features of this system • Select the data from the following choices • Data Categories, the sort of physical parameters( like SST,SSW and so on) • Satellite or Sensors, etc • Using shopping trolley icons, more user-friendly • Format exchange functionsAMSR/AMSR-Eare HDF4,AMSR2is HDF5, provided by these original format basically. • GeoTIFF,TIFF • netCDF(netCDF 4 classic model,CF-1.4) • HDF5(for AMSR-E/AMSR only)

  8. Data Distribution System Provide plan • We will provide standard products throughData Distribution System( using online ,http,sftp) • Start to provide AMSR-E/AMSR2 soon (plan) • RA research and cooperate organizations • Start to provide after initial checkout( 3month after the launch) • Other users • Start to provide after the calibration/validation phase ( 1 year after the launch)

  9. GCOM-W1 Processing Levels • All products are in HDF5 format.

  10. Calibration/Validation • Validation by utilizing the existing observation networks: • Radiosondes and GPS networks, SST and sea surface wind speed from various buoy system, Ground-based precipitation radar networks, Snow depth and other surface measurements by meteorological agencies, etc. • Specific field campaigns/monitorings • Soil moisture test sites such as Mongolia, Thailand, and CEOP sites including Australia Murray-Darling Basin, and Snow depth test site in Yakutsuk. • Potential interaction with other missions • SMOS and SMAP for soil moisture, GPM GV collaboration for precipitation.

  11. Calibration/Validation (new tool) • New AWS testing in Metrological Institute since the beginning of June, untill September • After test, will install to Murry Darling Basin, north-west part of Melbourne, in Australia

  12. Next PI meeting ・Plan Around December or January in Tokyo, together with other project ,GCOM-C, TRMM/GPM, EarthCARE, setting crosscutting discussion like the last year , (only plan, not discussed enoungh, not approved) choices are - Just after 3rd RA selection, around September or October, 3rd RA researhers only, introducing work plans each other. • Place ( Tokyo, or western part of Japan because of problems of reactors and radiation.)

  13. AMSR-E HW Recent Trend (as of 21st,June) Amplitude are a little bigger than before (pink) (yellow) (Light blue) (light green)

  14. AMSR-E HW information • The following problem are because of aging - The antenna torque has been unstable than before - 89GHz-B Detector’s output voltage will reach upper limit soon ( expected, around this December) • To make life longer - The operation tomake the dynamic range of Tb a little narrow => details are reported EOC/MELCO
