The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "GOSAT" (nicknamed “IBUKI”) was successfully launched on January 23, 2009 and it has been on operation to observe the greenhouse gases.
As an activity of the GOSAT Project, the RA was informed in eight times so far and many outcomes have been reported from the RA researchers. Aiming to promote utilizing and applying the GOSAT data to the creative RA researches with new perspectives, the promoters of the GOSAT Project, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) (hereinafter “the Three Parties”), invite research proposals anytime during the Project continuing period. We encourage you to submit your application and new research proposals.
Although the proposals are always invited, some deadlines are set for the review and selection by the GOSAT RA Selection and Evaluation Committee. Described here is the 9th RA, and its schedule is shown in the bottom of this announcement.
[Overview of the GOSAT RA]
Research proposals are welcomed in any of the following five topics:
1) Calibration,
2) Data processing algorithm,
3) Carbon balance estimation / Atmospheric transport modeling,
4) Validation, and
5) Data application.
This announcement is open to international science and technology communities, as well as to individual investigators of any nationality and researchers of any organization, including educational, governmental, and private institutions. Proposals must be for non-profit and peaceful purposes and should be prepared either in Japanese or English.
Once your proposal is accepted, you will be registered as the RA user and given several rights such as below:
1)To submit the GOSAT observation requests to implement your research objectives.
2)To request the delivery of standard products without any cost prior to their release to the general users.

4)To request the delivery of FTS SWIR L2 data products to which less screening criteria are applied than the standard products and obtain them without any cost.
5)To request to process FTS SWIR L2 data products without any screening criteria of the data quality, which were not generated. In making such request, researchers are asked to check browse images of CAI and confirm that there is no cloud within the field of view of FTS. The request will be accepted only when those data are necessary for the RA research.
6)To obtain additional information of the FTS SWIR L2 data products (column abundances of CO2, CH4, and H2O (SWIR)), so-called the “sub-datasets” of the FTS L2 data products, if they are necessary for the RA research.
7)To participate in the GOSAT RA PI Meeting (closed meeting) which will be held by the Three Parties.

The 8th Research Announcement (RA)
June 23, 2014
The Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite "GOSAT" (IBUKI) was successfully launched on January 23, 2009 and more than five years have passed since GOSAT started its on-orbit operation, and high-quality GOSAT data have been accumulated now. In the GOSAT Project, the RA was made for seven times, and consequently, numerous research outcomes were achieved by RA researchers. With the objectives of improving the use of GOSAT products by the RA researchers and enhancing the variability and the possibility of research outcomes, such as creative research outcomes from a new point of view accomplished through the use of GOSAT data by wider range of researchers around the world, the Three Parties, which are the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE), have been inviting for research proposals anytime during the Project. We encourage you to submit your application.
Likewise in the last seven RAs, researches are expected to propose in any of the following five topics:
1) Calibration,
2) Data processing algorithm,
3) Carbon balance estimation / Atmospheric transport modeling,
4) Validation,
5) Data application.
This announcement is open to international science and technology communities. Individual investigators of any nationality and researchers of any organization, including educational, governmental, and private institutions. Proposals must be for non-profit and peaceful purposes and should be prepared either in Japanese or English.
Once your proposal is approved, you are registered as RA user and have the following rights:
1)To submit Observation Requests on the sensors to implement your research objectives.
2)To request the delivery of standard products without any cost prior to their release to the public.
3)To request the delivery of research products for your RA research without any cost.
4)To request the delivery of FTS L2 data products with less screening than the standard products and get them without any cost.
5)To request to process FTS L2 data products, which are not generated because of some reasons, and get them without any cost. In making such request, you have to confirm that there is no cloud over the area with browse images, which include the targeted observing point. The request will be accepted only when those data are necessary for your RA research.
6)To obtain information in addition to the FTS L2 data products (column abundances of CO2, CH4, and H2O (SWIR)), so-called “sub-datasets” of these products, if necessary for your research.
7)To participate in the “PI Meeting” held by the Three Parties.
8)To download a large volume of data products via our FTP site, (Large Volume Data Server).
All submitted proposals will be evaluated by the RA Selection and Evaluation Committee designated by the Three Parties.

To Potential applicants for the 3rd RA,
October 28, 2010
On August 20th of this year, the GOSAT RA Office released the 3rd Research Announcement (RA) regarding GOSAT Joint Research. As a result, we have received some Research Proposals up to now.
Since we received some requests from potential applicants to extend the submission deadline, the original of which was October 29, 2010, we have decided to extend it with respect to all of the research fields by one week: The new deadline is November 8, 2010 (Japan Standard Time).
We would appreciate it if you could take an advantage of the extension and try actively for submitting proposals.
Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT)
The Third Research Announcement
August 20, 2010
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES), and the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) (hereafter referred to as the "Three Parties" collectively) are jointly promoting the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite "IBUKI" (GOSAT) Project. The spacecraft was launched successfully on January 23, 2009, and has been operating properly since then. The GOSAT observational data and its processed products are released to the public. The Three Parties would like to accept research proposals for the third time for the purpose of facilitating the data quality evaluation, including calibration, validation, and the utilization of the GOSAT data.
As appeared in the first and the second Research Announcement (RA), which adopted 88 research proposals in total, the Three Parties would like to accept research proposals in any of the following five specific topics also in the third RA:
1) Calibration,
2) Data processing algorithm,
3) Carbon balance estimation / Atmospheric transport modeling,
4) Validation, and
5) Data application.
