On Jun 10, 2022, Mr. Brian Strahl and Dr. Owen Shieh visited the Japanese Meteorological Agency in Tokyo, Japan, during the 2022 JTWC Roadshow.
This visit re-established in-person dialogue with JMA and its WMO-designated Typhoon Center, which was not possible throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Mr. Strahl and Dr. Shieh began by presenting a plaque commemorating the visit and long-standing mutual friendship between the two agencies to the JMA Director General for Atmosphere and Ocean, Mr. Takashi Mori, and the Head of the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC), Mr. Takuya Hosomi. In addition to discussing the mutual benefit of the close relationship and continuing liaison efforts, the meeting provided an opportunity to thank JMA for providing real-time radar data to the Office of Naval Research. Having access to this radar network across Mainland Japan and throughout the Ryukus will boost CNMOC’s understanding of the environment in this key location. Mr. Strahl and Dr. Shieh participated in a technical exchange with scientists of the Tokyo Typhoon Center, followed by a tour of the JMA operations floor. This visit put front and center the vital role meteorology and oceanography plays in the battlespace awareness of both our nations as strategic focus continues to shift to the INDOPACOM AOR
