GOSAT-2/L2/SWIR CO2 column-averaged dry-air mole fraction(G2-01)

  • Environmental

L2 CO2 column-averaged dry-air mole fraction data retrieved from SWIR radiance spectral data observed by TANSO-FTS-2 onboard GOSAT-2, which was developed as a joint project by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).

Notes The L2 column-averaged dry-air mole fraction (SWIR) is a product that stores column-averaged dry-air mole fraction of atmospheric gases retrieved by the MAP method (full-physics method) using Band 1-3 radiance spectral data of TANSO-FTS-2 (generated for cases where cloud-free or only optically thin cirrus clouds are present within the TANSO-FTS-2 instantaneous field of view).
On Tellus, point cloud data in 'HDF5' format, which is published by the GOSAT-2 Product Archive, is converted into 'FlatGeobuf' and 'GeoJSON' formats.

Notes when using

  • - You can use your derivative works generated in Tellus as you need. Refer here for more information.
  • - Some data prohibits copying the original data to use outside of Tellus including just a part of, or formatted data that can be restored back to the original.
  • - When using data in your own environment outside of Tellus, please notice that some of the data prohibit the usage or downloading. Please make sure to read the data details page.
  • - You need an agreement in advance for commercial use. Please inquire Tellus office.
