Abstract

The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2) on board the Global Change Observation Mission - Water (GCOM-W or 'SHIZUKU') was launched on May 18, 2012 (JST), and continuous its observation from the ATrain orbit more than one year successfully. Validation results of AMSR2 standard products satisfied required release accuracy, and JAXA has released AMSR2 geophysical parameters to public though the GCOM-W1 Data Providing Service System (https://gcom-w1.jaxa.jp) since May 17, 2013. Definition of AMSR2 research products are currently discussed under the AMSR2 Science Team and some candidate algorithms are being processed and tested for operation utilization in some user agencies.
