Special appointed associate professor Taka Hirata, Arctic Research Center, visited Hakodate Research Center for fisheries and Oceans (hereafter Marine Center), on May 21 of this week. We, ARC-HU, installed and operate the satellite receiving antenna system in this Marine Center. The satellite receiving antenna systems has been running for L band system receiving Metop and NOAA satellite data and for X band system receiving Terra and Aqua satellite data. We started the down-link of data gathered by the RISESAT satellite, succeeded for development, launching by Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, utilizing this X band system from the middle of April 2019. We use Room 220 of the Marine Center second floor as a satellite data analysis room.
