Natural hazards such as lightning discharge, torrential rainfall, earthquake, and volcanoes threaten human lives and activities. Recent development of electromagnetic technologies allow us to forecast and monitor natural hazards. Moreover, earthquake-related electromagnetic phenomena are recently considered as a promising candidate for short-term earthquake prediction. This technical report presents the recent development of electromagnetic technologies for forecasting and monitoring natural phenomena which are possible to cause natural hazards, and the state of the art and research progress of seismo-electromagnetics. The contents are the followings: (1) Electromagnetic phenomena associated with earthquakes and volcanoes; (2) the recent development of rainfall radars; (3) developing technologies on rainfall and cloud radars. |
