About
Dr. Taichiro Hashiguchi is a leading figure in satellite radiometry and Earth observation, whose work is pivotal to understanding the global carbon cycle and radiation budget. His primary research focuses on the on-board calibration and radiometric modeling of spaceborne sensors, most notably the Second Generation Global Imager (SGLI) aboard the JAXA GCOM-C satellite. His major contribution lies in ensuring the unprecedented accuracy of the SGLI-Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer (VNR), a critical instrument for monitoring ocean color, vegetation, and aerosols. His landmark 2019 paper, "Radiometric Model and Inter-Comparison Results of the SGLI-VNR On-Board Calibration," which has garnered 7 citations, provides the foundational framework for the sensor’s in-orbit performance validation. This work is essential for generating reliable climate data records, enabling scientists to track changes in terrestrial and marine ecosystems with confidence. Dr. Hashiguchi’s meticulous approach to vicarious calibration and inter-sensor comparison has established him as a key architect of the quality assurance systems that underpin modern global change science.
