Meteorological services in Japan were initiated in 1875 by the Tokyo Meteorological Observatory (TMO) - part of the Ministry of the Interior. TMO was renamed the Central Meteorological Observatory (CMO) in 1887, and was transferred to become part of the Ministry of Education in 1895. In 1956, CMO became an affiliate agency of the Ministry of Transport (MOT) under the name of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). In January 2001, MOT was reorganized into the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT*). JMA now serves as one of the most advanced and leading National Meteorological Services in the world, assuming both national and international responsibilities.
Berkeley Earth is an independent U.S. non-profit organization focused on environmental data science. It supplies comprehensive open-source world air pollution data and highly user-accessible global temperature data that is timely, impartial, and verified. From this foundation, we further question and investigate the nature of relationships between this data and timely human and environmental issues, such as ocean temperature and acidification. We communicate outcomes in peer-reviewed journals, global print and digital media, at conferences, and on our website.
It is the Nation’s leading authority for environmental data, and manage one of the largest archives of atmospheric, coastal, geophysical, and oceanic research in the world. NCEI contributes to the NESDIS mission by developing new products and services that span the science disciplines and enable better data discovery.

Risklayer is an independent think tank based in Karlsruhe, Germany. The Risklayer team is born out of the Center for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany as well as the General Sir John Monash Foundation in Australia. Risklayer’s staff are also involved in intense academic and governmental research, teaching and training activities with various universities including KIT which allow Risklayer to remain at the cutting edge of scientific and technical solutions. Within such a fertile ground for collaboration, it should be no surprise that we can draw on a wide network of international experts in many fields to achieve excellence and rapid solutions in our projects and activities.

The objective of this Observatory is to be the one-stop-shop for all data and relevant information regarding alternative transport fuels in Europe. The current version of the portal covers electricity. The second version to be released in June will also cover hydrogen and natural gas. A third version is being considered for late 2016 or 2017 to also cover biofuels and LPG. The Observatory is there to support the development of alternative transport fuels in Europe and assist the Member States with the implementation of Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of recharging and refuelling stations. This Directive requires that the Member States ensure a minimum coverage of certain alternative fuels by end 2020, or end 2025 or end 2030 depending on the fuels. The Observatory will also be of great use to cities as a pilot of 20 cities are developing a city-specific factsheet for the deployment of alternative transport fuels, which will be ready this summer. Interested cities are encouraged to contact the EAFO team. Up until now, data has been available on a fragmented and non-quality checked basis. The Observatory is gathering all existing data, performing the necessary quality checks and cross-checks so that users can trust their reliability. It also provides useful relevant information. Regular research and analysis will be conducted on the basis of the data and information, to provide recommendations to policy-makers and stakeholders. For many parts, the Observatory receives direct input from European countries and stakeholders. People and entities holding additional data and information are cordially invited to share it with the Observatory to the benefit of all. Only together will we be stronger and be able to support our European citizens and businesses. The Observatory is managed by a consortium led by AVERE, the European Association for Electromobility. Also involved are POLIS, a leading association of cities; the VUB, the Flemish University of Brussels; TNO, a consultancy; and Tobania, an IT company. Questions, requests for further information and offers to contribute can be directed at info@eafo.eu.
