Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM)

The Global Change Observation Mission (GCOM) is a Japanese satellite program designed to monitor Earth's environment, including climate, weather, and ocean health. It uses advanced sensors to collect data on factors like atmospheric temperature, ocean color, and cloud cover, helping scientists understand how our planet is changing over time. This information supports climate research, disaster management, and environmental conservation efforts, ensuring we can better respond to global challenges and protect Earth's ecosystems.
