• The marine buoy experiment in the Heisei 26 fiscal year will conducted on June 1 to 8 and 15 to 22.


• Kochi National College of Technology Professor Terada has posted news flash on the homepage of the data public presentation by the early tsunami watch system by the GPS tsunami gauge using "Michibiki" and "Kiku VIII" the satellite communication experimental result in an exploratory experiment, and as a result of a satellite communication experiment (January 3-5, 2014). (Only Japanese)


• The difference between the antenna in the Heisei 24 fiscal year, and the antenna in the Heisei 25 fiscal year was added to the marine buoy experiment in the Heisei 25 fiscal year.


• The marine buoy experiment in the Heisei 25 fiscal year was added to research introduction.
  The page of the image of the marine buoy experiment in the Heisei 25 fiscal year which made the press release is added this month.
  The experiment in the last fiscal year moved to the marine buoy experiment in the Heisei 24 fiscal year.


• Since oceanographic-phenomena conditions were recovered on January 3, 2014, it is based on the GPS tsunami recorder using "Michibiki" and "Kiku VIII".
  As a result of performing re-installation of apparatus as fault correspondence of the data public presentation by an early tsunami watch system, the satellite communication experiment is favorably executable. You can also see the past data display of the homepage of a GPS tsunami recorder.
  (The display of real-time data is ended on January 5, 2014.)
  It is the result of carrying out data display of the display period for the time of an opening day at 8:00 on January 5, 2014 in 11 hours. (Only Japanese)
