The MTSAT-1R is a geostationary satellite from Japan. It has an onboard sensor, which is called the Japanese Advanced Meteorological Imager (JAMI). JAMI obtains round earth imagery, called "full-disk
... image", and observes earth surface conditions and cloud distributions as well as meteorological phenomena such as typhoons, depressions, front and so on. In addition, the various meteorological parameters, such as sea surface temperature and cloud motion winds are extracted from image data.
