Initial report on polar mesospheric cloud observations by Himawari-8 [PDF]
We provide an initial report on polar mesospheric cloud (PMC) observations by the Japanese Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) meteorological satellite Himawari-8. Heights of the observed PMCs were estimated to be 80–82 km.

Reliability Evaluation of the Joint Observation of Cloud Top Height by FY-4A and HIMAWARI-8
It is well known that the measurement of cloud top height (CTH) is important, and a geostationary satellite is an important measurement method. However, it is difficult for a single geostationary satellite to observe the global CTH, so joint observation ...

Polar mesospheric clouds observed by Himawari-8 [PDF]
Abstract. We make an initial report on polar mesospheric clouds (PMCs) observed by Himawari-8, the Japanese Geostationary-Earth-Orbit (GEO) meteorological satellite. Heights of the observed PMCs were estimated to be 80–82 km. The PMCs were active only during summertime in both the northern and southern polar regions.

Snow-Covered Area Retrieval from Himawari–8 AHI Imagery of the Tibetan Plateau
Daily snow-covered area retrieval using the imagery in solar reflective bands often encounters extensive data gaps caused by cloud obscuration. With the inception of geostationary satellites carrying advanced multispectral imagers of high temporal ...

HOW WELL DOES SATELLITE FINE MODE AEROSOL PRODUCT VALIDATE WITH GROUND-BASED MEASUREMENTS FOR MODIS AND HIMAWARI-8? [PDF]
Currently, the validation of MODIS and Himawari-8 aerosol products mostly focuses on AOD, but the validation of their fine mode aerosol data is limited. In this paper, 22 AERONET sites in Asia from 2015 to 2016 were selected to validate the MODIS and the
