The Joint PI Meeting of JAXA Earth Observation Missions FY2021

Last Update: 2022.3.28

Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will hold “FY2021 The Joint PI Meeting of JAXA Earth Observation Missions” online. The details are as follows.

The objective of the meetings is encouragement of cooperation among the Principal Investigators (PIs) who belong to JAXA Global Environmental Observation Missions, GCOM-W, AMSR3, GCOM-C, PMM, EarthCARE, ALOS-2, ALOS-3, ALOS-4, and MOLI, through the reports provided by them.

The workshop sessions are scheduled in the morning or evening considering time differences and to avoid having sessions at the same time so that participants can join as many sessions as possible. Since it is the final year of EORA2, the workshop period is planned longer than usual. Poster sessions will be held to show more research results. Basically, only PIs and CIs are eligible to join the workshop.

The joint Plenary sessions and PI sessions of other Global Environment Observation Missions except ALOS, such as GCOM-W, AMSR3, GCOM-C, PMM, EarthCARE, and MOLI, will be held in January 2022. The information will be announced as soon as it is ready, probably in November. We expect your participation.

As for ALOS, the sessions related to ALOS-3 will be held on September 6, 2021, only for The ALOS-3 Calibration/Validation and Science Team since ALOS-3 is planned to be launched in this winter season. The ALOS-2 and ALOS-4 sessions are scheduled in November. The registration website is now available, and the registration in advance is required. Once you obtain your ID and password from the website, the ID and password are valid for the sessions held after November as well. Your information can be edited after registration. If you join the sessions held in January, please update your information. It is highly recommended for ALOS-2/ALOS-4 PIs and CIs, who provide poster sessions, to register with the website early for your preparation.
