    Q
    How SGLI Ensures Accurate Observations
    A
    For the target accuracy of SGLI products, please refer to the following pages:
    Standard products
    Research products

    The accuracy of these products is continuously maintained through regular monitoring and parameter updates.
    For the results of validation (accuracy assessment), please see:
    Validation results

    Currently, we are investigating a case where the target accuracy is not fully maintained. However, the impact is considered to be minor.
    • Affected product: L1 (POL product)
    • Issue: A slight degradation in geometric accuracy in the along-track (AT) direction has been observed.
    •  While the standard accuracy (RMSE ≤ 0.5 pixel) is still met, the target accuracy (RMSE ≤ 0.3 pixel) is not consistently maintained.
    • Period: Since 2021 (Northern Hemisphere) / 2022 (Southern Hemisphere)
    • Planned response: To be addressed in the algorithm update scheduled for November 2025
