The National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA) has acquired, as part of the initial function verification test, the first image from the Global Imager (GLI) aboard the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-II, "Midori-II", which was launched on 14 December 2002.

The attached images show the feature over the Kyushu Island and the East China Sea taken at about 11:30 (Japan Standard Time) on 25 January 2003, http://www.nasda.go.jp/press/2003/01/gli_20030127_e.html#section-2 and the whirl of a low-pressure in the eastern offshore of the Hokkaido Island taken at about 9:45 (JST) on the same day, http://www.nasda.go.jp/press/2003/01/gli_20030127_e.html#section-3 which were received by NASDA's Earth Observation Center (at Hatoyama-machi, Saitama Prefecture).

GLI is an optical sensor developed by NASDA, and has the world's top class performance to observe the reflected solar radiation from the Earth's surface with a 36- spectral channels ranging from ultraviolet to infrared. More specifically, GLI can make highly sophisticated observations at a global level over the distributions of sea surface temperature, snow, ice, clouds, aerosols, vegetation, ocean photo plankton, etc.

It is expected to contribute to understanding of long-term fluctuation mechanisms at a global level of the atmosphere, oceans, land and ice/snow areas by storing observing data from GLI.
