About
Dr. Tomoyuki Urabe is a leading figure in satellite remote sensing, specializing in radiometric calibration and Earth observation for climate science. His primary research focuses on advancing the accuracy of spaceborne sensors, particularly the Second Generation Global Imager (SGLI) aboard Japan’s GCOM-C satellite, which monitors the carbon cycle and Earth’s radiation budget. Dr. Urabe’s major contribution lies in developing and validating radiometric models for on-board calibration, ensuring that critical data from the Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer (SGLI-VNR) remains reliable over the satellite’s lifetime. His most-cited work, a 2019 study on the SGLI-VNR’s radiometric model and inter-comparison results (7 citations), provides a foundational framework for cross-calibrating multiple sensors, directly supporting long-term climate data records. Beyond this, his efforts have enhanced the precision of surface and atmospheric measurements, enabling more accurate tracking of environmental changes. Dr. Urabe’s meticulous calibration work is indispensable for the global research community, underpinning studies on climate dynamics and ecosystem health.
