The Shinsei-maru and Seisui-maru will gather off the Sanriku coast from June 27 to 30, and together with a land-based unit in Otsuchi, Iwate, will conduct simultaneous ultra-high-resolution observations of the atmosphere and ocean to clarify the impact of high water temperatures on the Yamase.

In addition, Hidetaka Hirata (A01-2) and others provide support on land. The Seisui-maru will depart on the 25th.
