The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has been developing a new Earth observing system, the GCOM (Global Change Observation Mission) project, which consists of two satellite series: GCOM-W1 and GCOM-C1. The first GCOM-C satellite will board the SGLI (second generation GLI [global imager]) to be launched in early 2017. The SGLI is capable of multi-channel (19) observation, including a near UV channel (0.380 μm) and two polarization channels at red and near-infrared wavelengths of 0.67 and 0.87 μm. Thus, global aerosol retrieval will be achieved with simultaneous polarization and total radiance.
In this study, algorithm improvement for aerosol remote sensing, especially of BBA episodes, is examined using Terra/MODIS measurements from 2003, when the GLI and POLDER-2 sensors were working onboard the Japanese satellite ADEOS-2.
