By incorporating high-resolution data based on satellite and radar measurements into a state-of-the-art numerical weather forecast system, we produce regional atmospheric reanalysis data over Japan and the surrounding maritime area. The data represents past atmospheric conditions reconstructed four-dimensionally with high spatio-temporal resolution. This will serve as a fundamental dataset for co-creating safe, secure and active communities in the future. The dataset acts as a catalyst for activating the collaboration between industry, academia, government, and society in numerous industrial fields, including energy, urban development, transportation/logistics, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, manufacturing, information, disaster prevention and mitigation, medical care/welfare, insurance and finance.
