1 Benefits of the new-generation Himawari-8 geostationary satellite for the Asia-Pacific region Toshihiko HASHIDA Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Side Event Ensuring User Readiness to New-Generation Meteorological Satellites, 27 May 2015

2 Himawari-8: JMA s Next-Generation Satellite First Shot of Himawari-8 (0240 UTC. 18 Dec. 2014) Himawari-8 successfully launched on 7 October Currently, Himawari-8 is in the in-orbit commissioning phase. Himawari-8 starts operation in July 2015 replacing MTSAT-2. Himawari-8/9 will observe East Asia and Western Pacific regions for a period of 15 years.

3 Bands of Himawari-8/9 Multi-band Observation Bands of MTSAT VIS IR4 IR3 IR1 IR2 Band Wavelength [μm] Spatial Resolution km km km km km km km km km km km km km km km km Number of Bands: 5 16 RGB Composited True Color Image Improvement of Satellite Products Volcanic Ash Yellow Sand Sea Ice Sea Surface Temp.

4 Observation Area and Interval Full disk Interval: 10 minutes Interval: 60 min. MTSAT 10 min. Himawari-8 Target Area Interval: 2.5 minutes Dimension: 1000 x 1000 km Example of targets: Typhoon Volcanic Eruption Forest Fire

5 Dawn of a New Era Full-disk Observation MTSAT-2 Every 60 minutes in Monochrome Himawari-8

6 Tracing of Typhoon Target Area Observation MTSAT-2 (IR1) Himawari-8 (Band #13) Every 30 minutes Every 2.5 minutes

7 Two Ways of Imagery Dissemination/Distribution Himawari-8/9 raw data Communication Satellite (CS) HimawariCast service HRIT files, SATAID files C-band antenna LNB CS Operator All imagery (full data) DVB-S2 receiver PC & software JMA HimawariCloud service NMHSs Users

8 Two Ways of Imagery Dissemination/Distribution HimawariCast via Communication Satellite Service for everyone JMA s baseline for imagery dissemination Full disk imagery 14 bands (1 VIS and 13 IR) Every 10 minutes MTSAT HRIT compatible spatial resolution No pass code required HimawariCloud via Internet Cloud Service for NMHSs with high-speed Internet access Full specification of imagery Full disk and Target area imagery All 16 bands (3 VIS and 13 IR) Every 10 minutes (Full disk), 2.5 minutes (Target area) Full spatial resolution

9 HimawariCast/HimawariCloud Schedule 2014 (CY) 2015 (CY) 2016 (CY) Imagery dissemination/distribution Start of Himawari-8 operation MTSAT-1R direct dissemination HimawariCast HimawariCloud (MTSAT-2 imagery) (MTSAT-2 imagery) (Himawari-8 test imagery) (MTSAT-2 imagery) (Himawari-8 imagery) (Himawari-8 imagery) Parallel Dissemination for users transitions HimawariCast service disseminates MTSAT-2 imagery from January 2015, and will disseminate Himawari-8 imagery from July HimawariCloud service distributes Himawari-8 in-orbit-test imagery from April MTSAT-1R direct dissemination of MTSAT-2 imagery will be continued until around November 2015.

10 Support for User Readiness: Webpage Contents: Overview of satellite observation Overview of data dissemination Imager (AHI) specifications Sample data Himawari Standard Data (HSD) HRIT/LRIT files NetCDF PNG Sample source code to read HSD and convert into other formats See

11 Support for User Readiness: Preparation for High-frequency Observation JMA provided proxy data to simulate Himawari-8 s high-frequency observation. (by special observations from the backup satellite, MTSAT-1R) Period: January March 2014 Interval: 10 minutes Area: around Australia Period: October 2014 Interval: 10 minutes Area: East Asia

12 Support for User Readiness: User Training The Australian Bureau of Meteorology runs the National Himawari-8 Training Campaign as a VLab activity. JMA appreciates the Bureau s efforts to promote the campaign for capacity development of users in the region. In conjunction with the Asia/Oceania Meteorological Satellite Users Conference (AOMSUC-6) to be held in November 2015 in Tokyo, JMA plans to hold a two-day training course for NMHSs.

13 Support for User Readiness: Equipment Support In cooperation with WMO and JICA (Japanese donor agency), JMA will support about 15 countries in RA II and RA V to install HimawariCast receiving stations. SATAID software developed by JMA will be installed into receiving stations, and enables to overlay NWP data and observation data onto Himawari-8 imagery. Himawari-8 imagery NWP data Observation data Antenna, LNB C-band Computer DVB-S2 receiver

14 Toward the New Generation of Satellite Meteorology JMA will advance the final preparations toward the start of Himawari-8 operation in July JMA will not change its satellite data policy. Free and Unrestricted International Exchange based on WMO Resolution 40 (Cg-XII) JMA will continue supporting user readiness to receive and utilize Himawari-8 data. JMA will share with other satellite operators the lessons and experiences learnt through Himawari-8 preparation as the first operator of next-generation geostationary meteorological satellites.

15 Furthermore Typhoon Noul approaching the Philippines (10 May 2015) Himawari-8 target area observation with 2.5 minutes intervals has a high potential to improve severe weather monitoring. JMA is willing to support NMHSs to the best possible extent by providing target area observation upon requests from NMHSs.
