Today's Earth Japan (TE-Japan), a powerful new flood monitoring system, has been created by Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS) in partnership with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to enable early warning of flood disasters. The TE-Japan system was validated for Typhoon Hagibis, which hit Japan in October 2019; most flooded areas were successfully predicted. Near-real-time monitoring data are now distributed and publicly available.
