Our research on super-rapid severe weather prediction was covered by NHK TV program "Sakidori" (サキどり↑) on June 21, 2015, and by NHK TV morning news program "Ohayo Nippon" (おはよう日本) on June 22, 2015.

The NHK "Sakidori" TV crew came to the monthly research meeting with teleconference.

My comments in the top news of Kobe local newspaper

On February 12, 2014, the top news of the Kobe local newspaper reports the Phased Array Weather Radar being built in the western part of Kobe city. The radar will start observing the 3-dimensional structure of rain particles and their motions in the air by the end of March, 2014. The article includes my comments on the innovative aspect and potential utility of the new-type weather radar in numerical weather prediction.

Here is the link to the news article (sorry, only in Japanese!)
