Abstract
Satellite images from the Himawari-8. It is a new Japanese geostationary meteorological satellite with optical sensors
significantly higher in radiometric, spectral and spatial resolution than previous geostationary orbit
such as MTSAT. There are 16 observation bands with 0.5 or 1 km spatial resolution for visible and
near-infrared bands and 2 km for infrared bands. The shortened revisit times around 10 minutes for
full-disk provide new levels of capacity for identification and tracking of rapidly changing weather
phenomena and for the derivation of quantitative products.
