Look in the eyes of a typhoon -Interviews -What is the "typhoon control" that the Japanese research team really aims for?

The moment of the typhoon's eyes

Withstand the strong shaking when breaking through the "wall clouds" surrounding the eyes of the typhoon, the scene reminiscent of the "Castle of the Sky" has spread as soon as the typhoon has entered the eyes of the typhoon.At the same time, the research team immediately dropped an observation zonde and investigated the central pressure.Expert teams are also considering typhoon control, which will drop typhoon power in the future.[Interview] Social Affairs Meteorological Meteorological and Disaster Taomi Makino Video Coverage Tsuneobu Suzuki photographer

Enter the eyes of the typhoon in a strong shaking

On September 29, 2021, Nippon Television accompanied the "typhoon aircraft direct observation" for the first time in commercial broadcasting.The research team led by Professor Kazuhisa Tsuboki of Nagoya University aimed at the "eyes" of typhoon No. 16, which had been north of Okinawa at the time with a very strong force.In the unlikely event that the Izu Peninsula and the Kanto area were headed, it was a typhoon in the Japan Meteorological Agency, with the intense damage comparable to the East Nippon Typhoon in 2019.I knew in my head that the upper layer of the typhoon was relatively weak and was a safe flight, but due to concerns and tensions that it would be drunk due to shaking, both the photographers did not go through the throat.。Meeting before flight.The pilot called on the boarding members."Fly at a much higher altitude than a normal airplane of 45,000 feet," "If the mask comes down, wear it as soon as it comes down."Carefully checked the preparation in case of emergency, we went to the head -style No. 16 with high tension.Just 30 minutes after taking off at the Nagoya Airfield, "Typhoon No. 16" was seen as early as possible.

30 minutes from takeoff, you can see the typhoon winding from the cockpit

Professor Kazuhisa Tsuboki, Nagoya University "The border of the blue sky and the border of the clouds, this is the outerest of the typhoon." The airplane was further advanced, and about 2 hours after takeoff, we passed over the Minamidai Higashi Island and entered the rain cloud of the typhoon.The outside was pure white and nothing was visible.The shaking gradually grows.Finally, we started entering into the eyes of the typhoon, the eyes.The standing there is the "wall cloud" surrounding the eyes of the typhoon."Wall clouds" are very developed, and they are dangerous clouds that can cause severe storms on the ground and cause intense rain.While passing through the "Wall Cloud", the aircraft shook, up, down, left and right for a few minutes.
