The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) was successfully launched on 24th May, 2014. The mission sensor of ALOS-2 is the Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar-2 called PALSAR-2 which is the state of the art L-band SAR system. At After launch, the initial checkout and the calibration and validation phase had been completed, and the PALSAR-2 standard products were released via web site at the end of November 2015. Until now, ALOS-2 has had contributed to a lot of emergency observations for disasters such as earthquakes flood, land slide which were impacted by typhoons, and volcano eruptions, not only in Japan but also in the world. Furthermore, based on the Basic Observation Scenario (BOS) of ALOS-2, base map data are collected and archived for the interferometry SAR processing in Japan area as well as global world. This document describes the results of ALOS-2 operation in routine operation phase.
