Activity of Satellite Analysis Group －Cases of using ALOS-2 data－

Abstract

Monitoring volcanic activities is important for safety of people. If the volcanic activity has been increased, the installation of additional sensors near the volcano is difficult. So, Coordinating Committee for Prediction of Volcanic Eruption set up “Satellite Analysis Group" for using ALOS and ALOS-2 data which are able to monitor active volcanos safely in day-and-night or any weather. This report introduces ALOS-2 data's analysis results on Hakone, Kuchinoerabujima, and Sakurajima.
