Definition

  • The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) responsible for contributing to the improvement of public welfare including natural disaster prevention and mitigation, safety of transportation, prosperity of industries, and international co-operation activities. The major activities are: (i) to issue warnings, advisories and forecasts in short-range, one-week and long-range; (ii) to deal with the global environmental issues such as global warming and ozone depletion; (iii) to provide information on earthquake and volcanic activities. Since more comprehensive meteorological information is increasingly required in the development of our socio-economic system, JMA has been making every effort in improving the forecasts, in facilitating the climate-related activities, and in making the tsunami and earthquake prediction systems sophisticated.
