Jul 7, 2015 · The Himawari-8 Real-time Web is an application via big-data technologies developed by the NICT Science Cloud project in NICT (National Institute of Information and Communications Technology), Japan.
True Color Reproduction (TCR) technology enables the display of earth images taken from space in a way that is familiar to the human eye. The imagery consists of data from three visible bands (Band 1, 2 and 3), one near-infrared band (Band 4) and one infrared band (Band 13).
Himawari 8 was launched by JMA in July 2015 and was installed at PAGASA last December 2015. It is the most utilized satellite imagery in real-time weather forecasting, tropical cyclone analysis and for research purposes as it generates images every 10 minutes.
Himawari-8 and Himawari-9 have a new payload called the Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) for dedicated meteorological mission. Table 1 shows the AHI observation bands. The functions and specifications are notably improved from those of the imagers on board MTSATs, and the AHI contributes to better nowcasting, improved numerical weather prediction ...
Himawari 8 (ひまわり8号) is a Japanese weather satellite, the 8th of the Himawari geostationary weather satellites operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency. The spacecraft was constructed by Mitsubishi Electric with assistance from Boeing, and is the first of two similar satellites to be based on the DS2000 satellite bus. [3] .
JAXA's P-Tree system, that provides multi-satellite products, releases the geostationary satellite Himawari Standard Data provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) as well as the geophysical parameter data produced by JAXA using the Himawari Standard Data.
Himawari Real-Time Image. The RGB composite imagery is produced by composing satellite images colored in red, green and blue. Details are refer to "RGB Training Library (JMA website)".
Himawari-8 | 1st flight unit of the Himawari 3rd generation programme. Main mission: operational meteorology. Additional mission: environmental applications.
Both of JMA’s Himawari-8/9 geostationary meteorological satellites (the successors to the MTSAT series) are equipped with highly improved Advanced Himawari Imagers (AHIs).
The Japanese Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) series, also known as its nickname, "Himawari" (meaning a "sunflower"), is on the geostationary orbit at 140 degrees of east longitude to carry out weather observation from space being part of the World Weather Watch (WWW) project of the World Meteorological Organization.
