Data Assimilation Research Team
Weather prediction is a great achievement of human intelligence by integrating advanced sensing, supercomputing, and information and communications technologies. Here, data assimilation plays a pivotal role. Connecting the most advanced radar sensing technology and supercomputers "K" and "Fugaku", data assimilation made it possible to predict sudden downpours. Data assimilation brings links to the future and expands synergistic opportunities.
