Abstract

The GLI was a 36-channel near UV-visible-IR imager on board the ADEOS-II satellite. In spite of its short lifetime of only ten months due to solar paddle accident of the satellite, the GLI project made several significant contributions to the satellite remote sensing and climate studies, because of their useful products and related studies making use of its advanced functions as a satellite-borne imager. We like to overview the GLI mission regarding what we learned and what we lost from the satellite accident and to present several highlights gotten from the data analysis.
