Meteorological Products of Geo-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A) satellite
National Meteorological Satellite Center of Korea Meteorological Administration
(NMSC/KMA) launched successfully the second geostationary meteorological satellite,
Geo-KOMPSAT-2A (GK-2A) on 5 December 2018. GK-2A has a new generation of
geostationary imaging radiometer named Advanced Meteorological Imager (AMI) which
is like sensor equipped on Himawari-8/9 and GOES-16/17 satellites. GK-2A/AMI will
provide high spatio-temporal measurements through 16 channels to observe the Earth’s
weather, climate and environment. In order to implement these applications, NMSC has
developed retrieval algorithms which can derive meteorological products in cooperation
with domestic academia and Korean Electronics and Telecommunications Research
Institute (ETRI) since 2014. These products are related with the Earth surface, atmosphere,
cloud, aerosol and radiation information as well as scene analysis. We hereby invite
authors to submit original and review articles that will stimulate the continuing efforts for
the progress of scientific retrievals using meteorological satellite data. This special issue
would focus the original research on the physical and statistical retrieval methods and the
performance evaluations of GK-2A meteorological products.
