ADEOS-II/GLI L2 Atmospheric correction data for land and cryosphere is obtained from the GLI (Global-Imager) sensor onboard ADEOS-II and produced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Global environment change has become a worldwide concern in recent years. In order to clarify these environmental changes, the Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS-II, renamed "Midori II" after launch) has been developed for the purpose of monitoring the Earth environment using remote sensing technology from space. Midori II carries mission instruments that are particularly dedicated to clarify the water energy cycle and the carbon cycle, and is expected to be utilized for international climate change research programs. GLI an optical sensor that observes the reflected solar radiation from the Earth's surface, including land, oceans and clouds and/or infrared radiation with a multi-channel system for measuring the biological content. The SGLI has a swath of 1600 km. This product is atmospheric correction data which is atmospherically correct the composited, normalized radiances for "Rayleigh scattering and ozone absorption". Rayleigh scattering and ozone absorption are corrected with the assistance of ancillary data, such as the TOMS data set and ETOPO 5. This product includes radiance data for channel 1, 5, 8, 13, 15, 17, 19, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 34, 35, 36. The physical quantity unit is W/m^2/micro-m/sr.This product also includes Satellite Zenith Angle, Solar Zenith Angle, Relative Azimuth Angle and Quality Control Flag. The provided format is HDF. Map projection is EQR and PS. Generation unit is area. The spatial resolution is 1 km and the statistical period is 16 days. The current version of the product is "Version 2".
