Development of a 3D rain gauge |
We are developing a 3D rain gauge that can capture rain falling from any direction as well as measure the direction and angle of that rain. With that, we will be able to measure driving rain that is difficult to accurately measure with conventional rain gauges.
(Joint development with MTS Institute Inc.) |

Natural hazard potential evaluation method |
| We are developing a natural hazard potential evaluation system that uses a method of quantitatively assessing natural hazard potential of any arbitrary point in Japan. That is based on the empirical and experimental relationship of natural environments including topology, geology and climate to geomorphic hazards. |
