Net Fluxes of CO2 Net Fluxes of CO2 (monthly (monthly average) average)

July,2009

January,2010

Monthly Net Fluxes were newly released on Oct. 28th

using GOSAT data and also ground truth (GLOBALVIEW)under validating by researcher around world

The mole fraction map of CO2 and CH4 are available on-line: https://data.gosat.nies.go.jp/GosatUserInterfaceGateway/guig/GuigPage/open.dovalidated through data aquired by TCCON (Total Carbon Column Observing Network)

Future GHGs Observation Projects Future GHGs Observation Projects GOSAT-2 GOSAT-2

Continuing and extending the GHG observationImprovement of;

Measurement precision of the concentration of CO2 and Ch4Estimation accuracy of the fluxes including the improvement of the

spacial and temporal resolution• reduction of the footprint size: from 10.5km to 3 or 4km• increase of the numbers of FOV : from one to five• improvement of precision : 4 ppm to 0.5 ppm

Additional approach to GOSAT observationDistinguish the anthropogenic greenhouse gas from natual oneAddition of the CO and NO2 observation channels

JAXA, MOE and NIES had been studying GOSAT-2 and the program has been coordinated, and the FY 2013 budget has been requested.

AMSR-E Observation TerminationAMSR-E Observation Termination At 3:58 p.m. on October 4, 2011 (JST) the AMSR-E on-boraded

NASA/Aqua satellite halted its observations and rotation. The AMSR-E has been operating over nine years (design life of three

years) observing global-scale water, including ocean ice, surface temperatures, vapors, precipitation and soil water

Joint science collaboration with NASA (developing algorithms) GCOM-W1/AMSR-2 will succeed the continuous observation and

international collaborations

GCOM-W1 status and launch GCOM-W1 status and launch

GCOM-W1 onboards AMSR2, further improved successor of AMSR-E on Aqua

Observation for water circulation mechanisms Observation of whole globe for two days GCOM RA mainly for Cal/Val was issued in Jan To be launched in early 2012 by H-IIA sharing

with KOMPSAT-3 The data will be available on-line for free and open to users for research

use (same condition with GOSAT, GPM, EarthCARE)
