The booth exhibition of Sysmet Co., Ltd. at the 56th Iwasaki Total Solution Fair 2026, held on April 8 (Wednesday) and April 9 (Thursday), has successfully concluded. On the day of the event, members of the technical department involved in meteorological forecasting, equipment development, and fieldwork from our headquarters in Kitakyushu participated to support the booth, which included actual equipment. Many visitors came to the booth, where they asked questions to the meteorologists and inquired about new services such as environmental sensors for noise and vibration, resulting in a great response. On the 8th, we were honored to have the opportunity to give a presentation on "How to View Meteorological Data from a Forecaster's Perspective and an Introduction to AI Wind Forecasting" at the mini stage, led by our meteorologists. Moving forward, we will continue to provide services that contribute to everyone's safety and efficiency, focusing on the theme of "Visible" safety created through the combination of meteorology and technology.

Thank you for always watching. The last weather-related information for 2024 will introduce a theme unique to winter. As December has arrived, the temperature has dropped significantly. During this time, the term "cold air aloft" is often heard in weather forecasts. The phenomena of cold air aloft and clouds observed by the Himawari weather satellite can be viewed as images on the Japan Meteorological Agency's website. In fact, those images contain indicators that suggest the strength of the cold air aloft, in addition to the movement and shape of the clouds. This is referred to as "offshore distance." This time, I would like to introduce this "offshore distance." It may sound like a difficult term that is not very familiar, but it can actually be easily checked. Table of Contents 1. What is offshore distance? 2. Offshore distance and the strength of cold air aloft 3. Conclusion *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

Thank you for always watching. This time, I will talk about important indicators used in port operations. Depending on the site environment, offshore construction is easily affected by waves and wind, and it is particularly necessary to carefully consider weather conditions in cost management and labor management. For this reason, there is an important keyword in offshore construction known as "utilization coefficient." This time, we will take a rough look at this "utilization coefficient." 1. What does "utilization" mean? 2. Calculation of the utilization coefficient 3. Concept of the utilization coefficient 1. What does "utilization" mean? First, "utilization" refers to the state in which machinery and equipment have been delivered to the construction site. The number of days from when the equipment is delivered to when it is removed is called "utilization days." Additionally, the construction period (excluding preparation and cleanup) includes not only the days when work is performed (operating days) but also non-operating days (holidays, safety training days, days of inclement weather, etc.). The remaining days in a year (365 days) after excluding these non-operating days constitute the annual "operating days" for the machinery and equipment. *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

The Japan Meteorological Agency announced a three-month forecast from December to February on Tuesday, November 25. During this period, the upper-level westerly winds will meander southward near Japan, but will generally flow in the same position as the average year. For more details, please visit our website.
