Abstract
With the launch of Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) and Meteorological Imager (MI) onboard the Communication, Oceanography, and Meteorology Satellite (COMS) over Asia in 2010, hourly monitoring of various aerosol properties has been realized. Algorithms and aerosol data products are presented for the period of 5 years since its launch. Seasonal cycle of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and its decreasing trend were observed. Together with the plan to launch Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) in 2019, monitoring of trace gas concentration for ozone, aerosol and their precursors will be possible in high temporal and spatial resolution. In this study, results and plan to monitor aerosol and trace gas concentration from geostationary earth orbit (GEO) are presented.
