Abstract
An improved method for designing the Global Imager (GLI) on board the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite II (ADEOS-II) is discussed. The GLI Signal Simulator (GSS) was developed and used for the experiments to study the performance of the some GLI channels. This method allowed successful selection of channels from a objective, rational point of view. The expected standard products which will be obtained by using GLI data are also discussed.
