Feature Articles : Weather forecast applied to civil engineering -Forefront of Weather forecast technology-

Large-scale disasters have frequently occurred in recent years due to unprecedented abnormal weather. There is an urgent need to clarify the generation processes and mechanisms of such abnormal weather, and continuous efforts have been made towards the establishment of monitoring and prediction technology to capture meteorological phenomena in a faster and more accurate way. Focusing on the utilization of weather forecast technology as a countermeasure against the adverse effects of abnormal weather, this special issue introduces case examples of applying weather forecast technology in the field of civil engineering. In addition, an article on a roundtable discussion by civil engineers regarding the future prospects of weather forecast utilization is also presented. It is our intention that this special issue will assist civil engineers understand the necessity of weather forecast technology in civil engineering, and promote the further application of weather forecast technology in civil engineering by providing actual application cases.
