ADEOS-II Satellite Position Data for Earth Environment Monitoring

Global satellite position data is derived from the GLI sensor onboard the ADEOS-II (Midori II) satellite. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) produced this data to support monitoring of the Earth's water and carbon cycles. The dataset was last updated in October 2003.

Use Cases

• Calibrating geolocation for GLI sensor observations using the provided spacecraft position information.
• Analyzing the satellite's orbital trajectory for temporal studies of Earth observation coverage.
• Integrating satellite position data with other L1B products to create accurate, georeferenced environmental maps.

Strengths

• Data originates from the JAXA-developed GLI sensor on a dedicated Earth observation satellite.
• Product is specified as 'Version 2', indicating a processed and validated release.

Limitations

• Data is from 2003, limiting its use for contemporary climate change analysis.
• Specific technical details like row count, file size, and exact column schema are unavailable.
