| Description: | Advanced Himawari Imager |
| Definition: | The Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) is a 16 channel multispectral imager to capture visible light and infrared images of the Asia-Pacific region. As the primary instrument aboard Himawari-8 and 9, the Japanese Himawari geostationary weather satellites operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency(JMA), the instrument was designed and built by Exelis Geospatial Systems, N. Y. (now Harris Space & Intelligence Systems). AHI is an Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) class instrument similar to the one that has been integrated onto the GOES-R spacecraft series of US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA), with only a few differences. One of the major differences is that the AHI hosts a green visible band.The AHI can produce images with a resolution down to 500m and can provide full disk observations every 10 mins and image the whole Japan territory every 2.5 minutes. Note: AHI is replacing JAMI flown on Himawari-6 (MTSAT-1R) and IMAGER on Himawari-7 (MTSAT-2) Additional information: https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/h/himawari-8-9#sensors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himawari_8 http://www.jma-net.go.jp/msc/en/ |
