GOSAT-2 Full Archive and Tasking
Jan-2018 | GOSAT-2 (Greenhouse gases Observing Satellite-2), which is also known as
“IBUKI-2”, is a JAXA satellite dedicated to the observation of greenhouse
gases. The satellite expands upon the capabilities of its predecessor and carries
enhanced versions of the two mission instruments aboard the GOSAT satellite: it
is able to observe levels of carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, water vapour in the
atmosphere and also carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide levels. ESA offers access to worldwide GOSAT-2 data (both archived and new acquisitions) via the TPM scheme. - Read more |
