Abstract
GOSAT-2 project retrieve and estimate the global concentration distribution of major greenhouse gases including the sources and natural absorbers with high level of accuracy to contribute to environmental administration as follows.
– Improved precision of climate change predictions
– Early detection of changes in the Earth system
– Better understanding of emission reduction level of the anthropogenic greenhouse gases and changing natural sink
– Contribution to air pollution monitoring policies
Also, GOSAT-2 project researches and develops new earth observation technologies required for future earth observing satellites.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
GOSAT-2 project utilizes JSS2 as one of the GOSAT-2 Mission Operation System which processes the observation data of GOSAT-2. When processing algorithm is updated, JSS2 reprocesses all data observed in the past. Also, JSS2 is used as a remote storage of all data required for its reprocessing.
As the reprocessing targets of GOSAT-2 products extends to all data observed in the past, more computer resources (core, memory, storage, etc.) are required than in the real-time processing.
It is necessary to use JSS2 to shorten the reprocessing time and to provide the reprocessing products to GOSAT-2 users in a more timely manner.
Achievements of the Year
We have been transmitting L0 data from the GOSAT-2 Mission Operation System to JSS2 in preparation for reprocessing of L1 products on JSS2 since observation by TANSO FTS-2 and TANSO-CAI-2 started.
In FY2020, we have updated the L1 processing algorithm for TANSO-FTS-2 two times and TANSO-CAI-2 one time and reprocessed the past observation data on JSS2 each time.
The version-up history of GOSAT-2 TANSO-FTS-2 1B product is shown below.
– Version 102.102 : May.2020 FCE correction and complex sensitivity calibration algorithm correction (TIR), Corrects the brightness degradation correction factor and the brightness conversion factor. (SWIR), Adding Attributes
– Version 200.200 : Oct.2020 Adoption of polarization correction for TIR calibration equation, Data format change for adding calibration supplemental information
The version-up history of GOSAT-2 TANSO-CAI-2 1A product is shown below.
– Version 102.102 : May.2020 Adding Attributes, Bug fixes
The FTS-2 L1B and CAI-2 L1B product has been available to general users from “GOSAT-2 Product Archive” (https://prdct.gosat-2.nies.go.jp/en/index.html) since July 2019.
