Abstract

Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 3 (AMSR3) is installed on the Greenhouse Gases and Water Cycle Observing Satellite (GOSAT-GW), which is currently under development.

It is a sensor for the purpose of observing microwaves naturally radiated from the surface of the earth, the surface of the sea, the atmosphere, etc.

AMSR3 has an enhanced observable wavelength band compared to AMSR2 onboard SHIZUKU, and will be able to observe snowfall and water vapor on land.

We are currently developing a processing system (AMSR3 mission operation system) on JSS3 to create products from data observed by AMSR3.

The purpose of this project is to recreate the products using this system and the improved algorithm after the AMSR3 observation starts, and to provide these products to the users in a short period of time.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System

By using JSS3, which has a large-scale and high-performance processing environment, for a short period of time and intensively to recreate the vast amount of AMSR3 data observed in the past, the recreated product can be delivered to the user in a short time.

Achievements of the Year

The AMSR3 mission operational system is currently under development.

In FY2023, various confirmation tests regarding functions and data IF were conducted using the environment built in FY2022.
