ULAT-SATREPS Understanding Lightning and Thunderstorms Project

(1) Overall Goal
To save human life and to mitigate the damage of social infrastructures from extreme weather in Metropolitan Manila and other urban areas in the Philippines.
(2) Project Purpose
Establishing the methodology of the nowcast for local extreme weathers and the way of its alert to the public based on the dense and nation-wide lightning observation networks which will be constructed in this project and the precise on-demand measurement of thunderstorms with satellites.

(3) Outputs
1. Establishment of methodologies for real-time lightning and meteorological observation in Metropolitan Manila, and nationwide lightning monitoring.
2. Establishment of satellite utilization for extreme weather monitoring, including design and operation of future microsatellites.
3. Establishment of methodologies for nowcast of extreme weather and lightning activity.
4 . Establishment of alert or warning system, a way of social implementation for issuing alert to the public on disasters associated with extreme weather, such as torrential rainfall, fash food, tornado, landslide, thunderbolts to person, electrical outage, network failure, a fire caused by thunderbolts.
(4) Project Activities
1. Constructing 2 kinds of observation networks and their real-time reporting system.
a) Dense observation network (0.5-3 km interval, ~20-100 sites) consisting of electric field and meteorological sensors covering Metropolitan Manila, which provides intimate information of thunderstorm development and its activity with a resolution of 0.5-3 km, including electrical discharge, torrential rainfall, gust front, etc.
b) Nation-wide lightning geolocation system (~200 km interval, ~10 sites), which provides background conditions of local phenomena in
Metropolitan Manila with a middle spatial resolution of ~10 km covering nationwide area.
2. Establishing the 3-D reconstruction of a thunderstorm by on-demand operation of satellites, making use of data obtained by existing
meteorological satellites and micro-satellites, such as RISING-2, and UNIFORM-1, and planned future micro-satellites, such as PHL-Microsat (Diwata) and RISESAT, which will be launched in a couple of years by
the Philippines and by Hokkaido University and/or other universities/institutes in Japan. In order to achieve it, the ground station will be built in this project.
3. Establishing the methodology of short-term prediction for extreme weather and lightning activity in Metro Manila, extrapolating data obtained by the networks constructed in this project, satellites, and
existing ground facilities including weather radars. To do this, the relationship between tropical cyclones and localized extreme weathers/lightning is examined with data recorded in the Philippines for long period.
4. Developing a public alert system of various disasters related to extreme weather with SMS or application of smartphone, based on the heritage of alert system, which has been developed and operated by DOST (PAGASA).

JAMSTEC Earth Simulator (ES4)

What is JAMSTEC?

LIVING WITH OCEAN FOR SOCIETY - The Planet Explorers - JAMSTEC

About 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by oceans. About 90% of this ocean is called the deep sea, and beneath the seabed, there is even an unknown life zone. We are looking at it. From a place deeper than anywhere else. We continue to explore the unknown possibilities. For the sake of society and its future.

JAMSTEC's supercomputer Earth Simulator

The Earth Simulator (ES4) is a multi-architecture supercomputer based on AMD EPYC CPUs, combined with accelerators (NEC's SX-Aurora TSUBASA and NVIDIA's GPU A100), and will therefore lead both further development of conventional research and implementation of new research projects such as AI research.

Installation Work Scenery

You can watch a short video about the five-month installation work scenery of the Earth Simulator (ES4), which started its operation on March 1, 2021.Please check it out!

Rack Panel Image of the New Earth Simulator (ES4)

The rack panel of the new Earth Simulator expresses the image of the exploration of marine earth science from the perspective of looking up at the sun from under the sea. The image is based on a bold depiction of the ocean as a whole, with marine life and other objects arranged in minute detail, in the hope that the Earth Simulator will lead to new knowledge from both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives.

Institute for Planetary Materials (Okayama University)

Institute for Planetary Materials

The the Institute for Planetary Materials, Okayama University is located in Misasa, Tottori Prefecture, a town that is well-known for its hot spring. The mission of the institute is to promote research and education on the origin, evolution and dynamics of the Earth and planets, with constant development of comprehensive geochemical analyses system, a range of high-pressure facilities and spectroscopic equipments. As a joint-use research institute, we provide joint-use and collaborative research opportunities on the research infrastructure and technologies to domestic and overseas researchers and students. We also provide graduate education in an international educational environment through our five-year doctoral program within the Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Okayama University
　For more details, please see our web page (click link at bottom).

◆Organization and Research Activities

Division for Basic Planetary Materials Science
We aim at understanding the internal structure and evolution of the Earth and planets via determination of the structure and physical properties of earth/planetary materials using experimental and computational approaches.

Division for Planetary System
We aim at understanding the origin, evolution and dynamics of the Earth and planets by utilizing a comprehensive analytical system that includes a variety of facilities for highly accurate/precise quantitative analysis, mass spectroscopic analysis and spectroscopic analysis.
-Development and application of highly precise elementary analytical method and mass spectrometry.

Division for Astrobiology
We investigate mineral–organic–fluid interactions, origin of life on the Earth and planets and traces of primitive life in the solar system via both experiment and analytical approaches.

◆Joint Usage / Research Center

The Institute for Planetary Materials has been designated as a Join Usage/Research Center, “Research Core for Earth and Planetary Materials Science” supported by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan. We offer opportunities to access our facilities and expertise in order to promote materials science research by taking full advantage of our facilities for chemical analysis, dating, and structural analysis of terrestrial and extraterrestrial materials and experiments under a range of PT conditions. If you are interested in collaborative research with us, please contact the relevant faculty members. For a complete list and further information, please visit the Joint-Use webpage.

We have adopted a doctoral program that has a maximum period of five consecutive years after enrollment. No prior Master degree is required. We look for highly motivated young students to join our graduate program, which is aimed at fostering the next generation of leaders in the international Earth and planetary science community. For international students, lectures and guidance in research will be provided in English as needed. Qualified students are entitled to receive financial supports, in the form of fellowship and research assistantship. Link to application guide etc

◆Misasa International Student Intern Program

The annual Misasa International Student Intern Program for advanced undergraduate and Master students is being held each summer for about 6 weeks in order to promote international collaborative research and education. During the intern program, each student work on an active IPM research project under the supervision of IPM faculty members and staffs. This year's program is cancelled due to COVID-19.

Exhibition room

Recently, we built an exhibition room to explain our research activities. It is still under construction, but for example, you can experience the high-pressure ice, observation of rock thin sections using a polarizing microscope, observation of radiation using cloud chamber as shown in the videos below, and interactive play with a sand box using augmented reality etc. are available.
