JAXA: Atmospheric observation with artificial satellites and passenger planes:’Ibuki’ (GOSAT)
JAXA and ANA:
Started remote sensing joint research on atmospheric components in urban areas from artificial satellites and passenger planes.
JAXA:
Since 2009, the greenhouse gas observation technology satellite “IBUKI” (GOSAT) * 1 has been used.
We have captured the increase in greenhouse gases throughout the globe.
This study:
Bring JAXA observation equipment on board ANA passenger planes.
Observe the detailed concentration distribution of carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. in major cities.
Greenhouse gas reduction:
First of all, the observation experiment started from the Tokyo (Haneda) -Fukuoka flight.
In the future, we will study urban greenhouse gas reduction measures and provide reduction effect evaluation data.
We aim to contribute to the “Paris Agreement * 2, which obliges countries around the world to take measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
