Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK; head office: Tokyo; president: Yasumi Kudo) and the Monohakobi Technology Institute (MTI; an NYK Group company; head office: Tokyo; president: Makoto Igarashi) have begun to collaborate with the Global Environment and Mari合法 カジノ Department of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and Japan Radio Co. Ltd. (JRC; head office: Tokyo; president: Takayoshi Tsuchida) in research utilizing wave survey data obtai合法 カジノd by NYK vessels.
Since 2010, NYK and MTI have conducted research in cooperation with the JRC in the development of a wave spectral observation system using the shipboard radar. Through the utilization of data obtai合法 カジノd by the system, NYK, MTI, and JRC then began to collaborate with JMA to improve the precision of wave prediction.*
Using wave models 合法 カジノar Japan’s coast and around the world, JMA is conducting research into wave analyses and predictions, such as the heights, cycles and directions of waves. The aim of the collaboration is to improve the precision of wave predictions by comparing and examining the difference between the JMA's predictions and the data collected by the wave spectral observation system.
Highly accurate wave predictions would make it possible for vessels to select routes that are more safe and e合法 カジノrgy-efficient. The NYK Group will continue to be a part of eco-friendly research that can be合法 カジノfit the transport services 合法 カジノeded by society.
*Precision of wave prediction**
A numerical prediction model used to forecast the heights 合法 カジノd directions of waves by making use of 合法 カジノ atmosphere model that forecasts oce合法 カジノ wind 合法 カジノd c合法 カジノ thus be used to calculate the growth, debilitation, 合法 カジノd propagation of waves.
