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.

Himawari-8 Atmospheric Motion Vectors - Operational Generation and Assimilation [PDF]
In October 2014 the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) launched the new generation geostationary satellite Himawari-8. This satellite provides ten minute imagery in sixteen wavebands over the Asian and Australasian region. The imagery has been navigated, calibrated and subsequently used in the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) to generate Atmospheric ...

Deriving Hourly PM2.5 Concentrations from Himawari-8 AODs over Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei in China
Monitoring fine particulate matter with diameters of less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is a critical endeavor in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) region, which is one of the most polluted areas in China. Polar orbit satellites are limited by observation frequency,

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind
ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.
