Abstract

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency´s (JAXA´s), Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) will provide environmental satellite remote-sensing data for at least 13 years starting in 2011. The utilization of these data will yield great benefits for the research and operational user communities. NOAA is working collaboratively with JAXA and NASA to fully utilize the GCOM data in support its diverse operational mission which includes weather and ocean forecasting and warning, climate monitoring and prediction, fishery and marine mammal management, ocean spill response and mitigation.
