Simosato Hydrographic Observatory in Wakayama Prefecture has been carrying out Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) observation for AJISAI, LAGEOS‐1, LAGEOS‐2, and other geodetic and Earth!observation satellites, since 1982. More than 26,000 passes have been obtained. In this report, we re-estimated the velocity of Simosato from LAGEOS SLR data for 15 years. As a result, the velocity of 2.9 cm/year in direction to 294°N relative to the Eurasian plate was obtained. This velocity is close to the subduction velocity of the Philippine Sea plate. This indicates that the interplate coupling at this region is strong. In addition, our result is consistent with other researches using SLR data (e.g., ITRF 2000,ITRF 2005 SLR rescaled)Journal
