13

❧ Standard algorithms from PI have been received, tested and integrated at EORC environment.

❧ Ver.1.0 algorithm/software, to be used for the initial products for public from EOC +12 months after launch, will be delivered from EORC to EOC +6 months.

Algorithm Development Status


14

❧ EORC is responsible for (Cal)/Val.

❧ Basic Cal/Val plan completed. ● ( PI’s web ; having network security issue )

❧ Cal/Val implementation plan to be defined more in detail.

❧ Needs cooperation with many organizations / researchers worldwide for validation.

Calibration & Validation


15

Calibration & Validation

Collaboration for attaining world-wide area coveragee.g. Data exchange: GLI Mongolian site; MODIS Land sites

Standardization of instrumentationStudies of validation instrumentation in various missions seem to generate a similar strategye.g. Sky radiometer: NASA-AERONET, NASDA-SKYNET (Asia, Pacific rim)

MODIS data utilization

Plans to use MODIS data :

❧ As simulated GLI data as a part of pre-flight algorithm validation activities.

● < by ADEOS-II science project >

❧ To receive DBS and create LAC for Asian ocean studies. < by Ocean science project >

❧ for Earth Science studies. ● < by individual researchers >

GLI 250m resolution data

❧ Data acquisition analysis in progress.❧ Data availability heavily depends on the Data

Relay Satellite utilization.❧ ESA’s “ARTEMIS” and NASDA’s DRTS

launch schedule (TBD).❧ ARTEMIS Link budget at Ka-band to be

confirmed in the test operation.❧ Thermal design margin for X-band Tx to be

confirmed in the initial check-out.


21

GLI PFM Dynamic Range Issue

❧ Inappropriate specification at some of the ocean channels found in PFT data analysis.

❧ Utilizing the launch delay, planning for PFM modification under study.

❧ Realistic candidate modification method would to decrease input light energy to all the visible and near IR channels.


22

Joint Workshop 2001(JFY2000)

❧ Individual Sensor Team Meetings● US-AMSR-E team meeting, July @ IGARSS

● Standard Algorithm PI meeting, Oct (TBD)

❧ Joint Symposium/Workshop● Dec’99 Kyoto ; Success with ADEOS

● Mar’01 Hawaii ; Planning with TRMM, ADEOS and Aqua

• Model researchers participation also planned
