Abstract :
The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) on board the Global Change Observation Mission - Water 1st (GCOM-W1 or “SHIZUKU”) was launched on May 18, 2012 (JST), and continuous its observation from the A-Train orbit more than one year successfully. Validation results of eight geophysical parameters of AMSR2 standard products show that all products satisfied required release accuracy, and JAXA has released AMSR2 geophysical parameters to public though the GCOM-W1 Data Providing Service System (https://gcom-w1.jaxa.jp) since May 17, 2013.
