2. Current Status and Plan of JMA: AMV/CSR
JMA/MSC plans to reprocess AMV for GMS-5, MTSAT-1R and -2 for JMA’s reanalysis project (JRA-3Q).
We are preparing for the reprocessing with Himawari-8 AMV derivation system designed for the reanalysis. MTSAT-2 AMV has been derived from data of 2014 with the Himawari-8 AMV algorithm on trial.
CSR:
Himawari-8 CSR algorism is basically not changed from the past. The difference between the reprocessing data and the past one is not so large. JMA/MSC doesn’t have plan to reprocess CSR for the past satellites.

3. Plan for JMA’s AMV reprocessing
Satellite
Period
Reprocess
MTSAT-2
2010/ /07
planned, 6 hourly
MTSAT-1R
2005/ /07
GOES-9
2003/ /06
Not planned, due to quality problem
GMS-5
1995/ /05
GMS-1,2,3,4
Not planned, due to lacking of WV band data
We consider intercomparison study for AMVs between EUMETSAT and JMA using JMA historical geostationary satellite data for a certain period.
It is feasible and important to compare AMVs between the participates.
