Abstract

Himawari-8, a geostationary satellite operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency, became operational in July 2015. The Himawari-8 (H-8) SST data have a spatial resolution of ~2km and a temporal frequency of 10 min each snap shoot. This provides enormous opportunities for the monitoring and investigation of highly dynamic oceanographic phenomena. This presentation aims to demonstrate the value of H-8 SST data for the studies of several oceanographic and atmospheric features around Australian margin: East Australian Current (EAC), Bonney Coast upwelling (BCU), Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and Marine Heat Waves (MHW). The results of these studies showed that H-8 SST data were capable of capturing the development of high-frequency and fast developing events. Importantly, spatial and temporal mapping of these oceanographic phenomena has enabled the quantitative investigation of these complex features.
