GHGs Trend Viewer
with GOSAT Long term target observation

NIES GOSAT retrieval

Last update: 2018/01/24

1. Introduction

The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT) is designed to measure the concentration of major greenhouse gases from space. GOSAT was launched successfully on January 23, 2009. GOSAT Project is a joint effort promoted by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE).

The GHG long term trend viewer presents quick view and pick up data set of the target observation sites, where users are interested. Most of the target observations requested by the RA researchers are not included in the list.

About parameter

GOSAT NIES Level2 V02.72 (Bias uncorrected)

About data extraction

In order to use long term trend data of the point of interest, the viewer pick up data within the circle of 10km radius.

But the following adjacent site, the viewer pick up within the circle of 1km or 2km radius.

The primary pointing system, which had been used between launch and Dec. 2014, larger pointing offset of about 5km.

Therefore, some cases include nearby target points.
