The spectral reflectivity was measured simultaneously with the ASTER observation at the frozen surface on Lake Saroma, Hokkaido.

The CR observation for the PALSAR geometric validation was carried out at the frozen surface on Lake Saroma, Hokkaido.

Field campaign colaborated with Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) at Lake Frome and Lake Lefroy.

The PLASAR CR final observation at AIST field in this fiscal year was safely carried out against the first gale of spring.
