The AMSR series website (AMSRs web) has been launched to provide information on GCOM-W/AMSR2 (2012-present), Aqua/AMSR-E (2002-2011), ADEOS-II/AMSR (2002-2003), and GOSAT-GW/AMSR3, which is scheduled to be launched in JFY 2023. The latest information is available on the new site below.
Announcement of "Mini-Workshop on A-Train Science"
The Afternoon Constellation (A-Train) is a constellation of earth observation satellites which travel in the same polar orbit, crossing the equator northbound at about 1:30 p.m. Each satellite carrying various sensors observes the Earth almost simultaneously. JAXA successfully entered the GCOM-W satellite "SHIZUKU" to the A-Train, and started to acquire observation data. We arrange a mini workshop for scientific studies using the A-Train data after the A-Train Mission Operations Working Group (MOWG) meeting held in Japan. We hope this mini workshop will make an opportunity for Japanese researchers to deeply know the A-Train and to share ideas on the A-Train data with US researchers and operators. We expect an active participation of everyone who has an interest in the A-Train.
