Japan Meteorological Agency has started the discussion on Himawari-8/9 follow-on satellites to be launched in 2028. We are investigating impacts on numerical weather prediction of a hyperspectral infrared sounder on the follow-on satellites using an observing system simulation experiment (OSSE) approach. We will present preliminary results of simulation and global and regional data assimilation experiments of the sounder.
