Nikon Horizons is pleased to present the feature story from our Japanese-language magazine, Nikon Today. We seek to introduce timely issues from a Nikon viewpoint. A new issue of Nikon Horizons is offered online every six months.
Volume 11 of Nikon Horizons explores weather forecasting. We’ll begin with its origins thousands of years ago, then move into modern times, with high-tech devices yielding ever more accurate predictions. Next, we’ll learn about the longstanding relationship between agriculture and weather forecasting, and see how farmers apply technology to protect crops — and even make foods tastier. The last part of our journey takes us into space, where the Sun drives “space weather.” Scientists will tell us how forecasting space weather protects humans, aids exploration and helps us understand the Sun.
