- Phased array weather radar
- Next generation Himawari geostationary meteorological satellite
- K computer
- Social, economic, and scientific challenges, and solutions
(Creativity, innovation, etc.)
- • Very-short-range severe weather prediction is an important social
challenge in disaster prevention and mitigation.
• Viewing invisible phenomena such as airflows in cumulus clouds is
meteorologically challenging.
- An innovative 30-second super-rapid update numerical weather prediction system for 30-minute severe weather forecasting will be developed, aiding disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as bringing a scientific breakthrough in meteorology.
