| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We had developed and operated a realtime monitoring system based on MODIS and MTSAT for monitoring active volcanoes in east Asia. Between 2015 and 2017, their new generation satellites, Himawari-8/AHI and GCOM-C/SGLI (launch was delayed to be in December 2016) begin operation. We developed a new observation system consisting of these two new satellites to enhance the observation capability. Further, for more precise analysis, we developed a combined method of analysis using low-resolution/high frequency images from AHI, medium-resolution/medium frequency images from SGLI, and high-resolution/low frequency images from commercial satellites. We assured usefulness of this method through the analysis of the 2015 Raung eruption, Indonesia.
