Space weather variations affect the Earth's geomagnetic field strength and the plasma environment in the upper atmosphere. These variations often cause damage to services using communication satellites and GPS systems. For continuous monitoring of space weather, we observe the geomagnetic field and operate a remote sensing system for the upper atmosphere region called the ionosphere.

We try to develop the autonomous control system and auto-scaling system based-on machine learning techniques, without the manual concrete operation schedule.

We have been developing new indicators for monitoring geomagnetic activity based on large amounts of observed sensor data. This indicator is officially published and widely used by researchers as plasma environment data in the equatorial region.
