Utilization of Edge Computing and IoT Sensors in Hierarchical Weather Forecasting System
Ryota Nakada, Koya Mori, Noriyuki Takahashi · NTT technical review · 2018
NTT and the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) began collaborative research on a hierarchical weather simulation system using the Earth Simulator and edge computing in 2016.This project promotes the creation of new technology for the interworking of geographically distributed Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, regionally located edge computing, and the Earth Simulator that is capable of large-scale weather simulation.The project also promotes the development of fundamental technology for supporting various IoT services.
