7. DATASET OVERVIEW

7.1 Abstract

Three scale-types of datasets observed by new generation of remote sensing satellites (including TERRA, AQUA, ADEOS-II) in addition to TRMM and DMSP series, which were providing enhancement of observing capabilities to quantify critical atmospheric, surface, hydrologic and oceanographic data during CEOP time periods are available. 250 km square snapshots of the highest resolution raw radiances (with geographic location, i.e. level 1) remote sensing data at the 35-51 in situ reference sites are archived.

■Satellite

JERS-1:

FUYO-1(JERS-1) is an earth observation satellite whose primary objective is to gather data on global land masses while conducting observation for land surveys, agricultural-forestry-fishieries, enviromnental protection, disaster prevention and coastal surveillance, with emphasis on locating natural resources. In order to optimize accuracy in measurements, JERS-1 was equipped with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), which is an active microwave sensor, and OPS, an optical sensor that measures light reflected from the earth's surface ranging from visible light to shortwave infrared light.
