Abstract

Operational weather analysis, forecasting, and warning utilize a wide variety of data products and tools, including satellite imagery and derived products. Satellite observations provide information where in-situ measurements are lacking or not readily available. Passive microwave satellite observations are routinely exploited by forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS) in the United States (U.S.) to support their weather analysis and forecasts. In this paper, we present examples of ocean measurements and derived products from Advanced Scanning Radiometer -2 (AMSR-2) on the Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM), which is part of the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that supported critical forecasts.
