ORIE - Himawari Meteorological Satellite Ground Reception System
The Himawari Meteorological Satellite Ground Reception System is designed to capture and process data transmitted from the Himawari series of meteorological satellites. These satellites provide critical weather data which is essential for forecasting, disaster preparedness, and climate monitoring. The reception system includes advanced antennas and data processing units that convert raw satellite transmissions into actionable meteorological information. It integrates seamlessly with existing meteorological infrastructure and supports diverse data formats. The system`s robust architecture ensures reliable operation in various weather conditions, making it a vital component in meteorological analysis and emergency response scenarios. Additionally, it provides compatibility with international standards, ensuring data interchangeability with global meteorological networks.
This is one of our principal products which is a complete ground reception and processing system for the Japanese Meteorological Satellites called Himawari 8/9 (GOES-R type satellites).
The system can receive data, process and make it visualizations for professional users.
Observation data of a Himawari Satellite is disseminated through a commercial communication satellite called "JCSAT-2B" with free of charge for users.
The data dissemination service is called as "HimawariCast".
Himawari 8/9 satellite has 16 bands of sensors on the craft and carries out observations every 10 minutes for full globe.
The HimawariCast broadcasting service contains 14 channels of Himawari data among 16 bands upon real-time bases.
You can get full globe data of Himawari for visible band as well as 3 Near IRs, 3 Water vapor and 7 IR bands with every 10 minutes periods.
This feature allows you to use various analysis capabilities.
Weather analysis functions and capabilities could be dramatically improved thanks to the new Himawari 8/9 satellites.
You can also get data other than Himawari imageries such as Global Numerical Weather Prediction products of JMA as well as Ground surface and Upperair observation data gathered from the GTS network and Ocean Surface Wind Data called ASCAT products observed by EUMETSAT METOP satellite.
- The system consists of components such as a 2.4m parabolic antenna, a DVB-S2 receiver, a reception/processing PC and visualization PCs.
- The visualization PC contains SATAID software which was developed by JMA.
- SATAID has multifunctional and very advanced capabilities to use for various range of weather analysis tasks.
- The imagery products generated automatically or manually can be disseminated to the users from the system over the network.
- The system is a low-cost but has very high-performance and essential capabilities for daily or emergency weather forecasting operations.
- There are many National Weather Services in the Asia and Pacific countries who are using our system.
- It is the most effective and vital tool for weather forecasting operations.
