Other countries then began preparing surface analyses. In Australia, the first weather map showed up in print media in 1877. [10] Japan's Tokyo Meteorological Observatory, the forerunner of the Japan Meteorological Agency, began constructing surface weather maps in 1883. [11] The London Times published the first weather map on April 1, 1875. [12]
Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS), commonly known in Japanese as "アメダス" (amedasu), is a high-resolution surface observation network developed by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) used for gathering regional weather data and verifying forecast performance. The system began operating on 1 November 1974, and ...
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA; 気象庁, Kishō-chō) is a division of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism dedicated to the scientific observation and research of natural phenomena. Headquartered in Minato, Tokyo the agency collects data on meteorology, hydrology, seismology, and volcanology, and other related ...
The heavy damage on the island prompted the Japan Meteorological Agency to give Sarah the special name of the "Miyakojima Typhoon". [10] Sarah was part of a series of typhoons striking the island in 1959, causing food shortages that forced the population to change their diet. [11] The storm brushed Okinawa with gusts of 135 km/h (85 mph). [1]
Examples of reanalysis datasets include the ECMWF re-analysis, [2] the Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2), [3] and the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis, [4] and the JRA-25 [5] [6] reanalysis conducted by the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) then upgraded the system to a tropical storm, naming it Toraji. Satellite imagery shows that Toraji was undergoing rapid intensification, with a small system displaying an elongated, compact central dense overcast feature, measuring around 81–92 miles (130–148 km) in diameter. On November 10, the JMA ...
Joan formed from a surface center to the northeast of Guam on August 23, in which Japan Meteorological Agency began to track and classify the system as a tropical depression on the next day. A reconnaissance aircraft was sent to investigate the surface center and in 03:25 UTC on August 25 the surface center was classified as a tropical storm by ...
Typhoon Kit June 26, 1966 surface analysis At 06:00 UTC on June 26, the JMA estimated Kit's pressure to have abruptly dropped to 880 mbar (hPa; 25.99 inHg), [ 2 ] which would rank it among the top ten most intense tropical cyclones on record. [ 4 ]
