Current Status and Future Plan of JAXA Earth Observation Missions for Climate Studies and Operational Applications
GOSAT-GW & AMSR3
Global Observation SATellite for GHG and Water Cycle
 The GOSAT-GW satellite will carry two missions, AMSR3 and
  TANSO-3.
  ◼ AMSR3, led by JAXA, will succeed AMSR series observations with new
    high-frequency channels (166 & 183 GHz) for solid precipitation
    retrievals and water vapor analysis in numerical weather prediction.
  ◼ TANSO-3, led by Japanese Ministry of Environment (MOE), will improve
    observation capability of greenhouse gases from GOSAT-2/TANSO-2.
  ◼ Internal project approval review was completed in Nov. 2019, and
    became official project in Dec. 2019.                    AMSR-2

 Mission Targets of AMSR3
  ◼ Understanding water cycle variation and impacts of climate change
  ◼ Improvements in numerical weather prediction, typhoon analysis, etc.
  ◼ Contributions to fisheries near coast
  ◼ Contribution to navigation support in polar oceans

GSMaP’s Contribution to WMO SEMDP
Space-based Weather and Climate Extremes Monitoring Demo. Project
 WMO Space-based Weather and Climate Extremes Monitoring (SWCEM) Demonstration Project
  (SEMDP), East Asia and Western Pacific Regional Subproject initiated in 2018 (Kuleshov et al.
  2019, DOI:10.5772/intechopen.85824).
 JAXA participates to this subproject with the GSMaP, and provide the GSMaP_Gauge_NRT
  product with 19yr-climate normal.
 Targets are heavy rainfall and drought from 5-days up to a month.
