5 2. Operation Status

6 Current Operation Status 1.TRMM (’ ) almost 9 years old –Post-Operations Phase –Operation has been extended 2.Aqua/AMSR-E (’02.5- ) – Post-Operations Phase 3.ALOS (’06.1-) –Initial CAL/VAL Phase 2. Operation Status

7 TRMM It is approved that TRMM continues to observe tropical rainfalls until September 2009, with possible additional extension after another senior review, allowing for a possible overlap with GPM. (TRMM may operate as long as September 2012.) Long, accurate record of quasi-global precipitation  Outstanding research benefit Data utilization –8 years of PR data has been accumulated. Information on structure of precipitation systems brought by PR  Precipitation System Climatology Estimation of estimated rain rate accuracy including effects of altitude change is important for climate research purpose 2. Operation Status

8 Aqua/AMSR-E AMSR-E data utilization – JMA started to use AMSR-E data for the global numerical prediction model on May 15, Operation Status  Improved the forecast accuracy of the track of a typhoon – “SST anomaly in the high latitude ocean of AMSR-E” site was released on September 14, 2006.

12 ALOS Current Status Initial CAL/VAL Period; –Calibration and Validation of each sensors on processing Level1 data from Level0 data are most important and necessary to improve the accuracy of high resolution DEM and biomass distribution data. We will have the review on October 23 for moving to “Routine Operations Period”. ALOS data utilization; –Disaster monitoring 2. Operation Status Flooded areas in ChoeleChoele City, Argentina observed by "Daichi"(ALOS)/PRISM on July 30, (Pre-disaster)(Post-disaster)

13 Network Interface NASA/GSFC (SDPF,TSDIS,EDOS,CSAFS) JAXA/EOC APAN/SINET (effect 6Mbps) NASA/JPL (PO.DAAC) 2.

20 GPM project status Core satellite: –GPM core launch schedule was slipped to June 2013 because of NASA budget problem –Currently JAXA is in phase B. –JAXA proceed to phase C/D in JFY Constellation satellites: –A lot of changes! EGPM : reduced NPOESS : scale downed (reduced time orbit and CMIS) NASA constellation : Non-sun synchronous (inclination 40°) etc. –Microwave radiometers get fewer at the operation period of GPM core.  It is very difficult to achieve our objectives.  JAXA started to use not only microwave radiometer but also microwave sounder data for frequent precipitation observation. 3. Future Program

21 Overlap of satellite operation 3. Future Program Note: Not written about FY-3/MWRI and MWHS In order to achieve our GPM mission, we hope to know more details of constellation candidate. -Possibility of FY-3 data use. -Korea (KMA/KARI) will plan to have satellite with microwave radiometer or not? -NPOESS update information. etc.

22 GPM Related Meetings Workshop: –The 6 th GPM International Planning Workshop, Date: 6-8 November 2006 place: USA –GPM Data Working Group:GDaWG Not hold this year 3. Future Program ** We started to study the possibility of multi sensor data use such as other agency’s sensors or microwave sounder. If possible, I want to discuss data exchange in specific. - What type of data format ? - How to get data to use in real-time, operationally? - Can we get Point of Contact?
