  In the area of aerological observation, the Aerological Observatory conducts lower atmosphere observation (up to 1.5km) using a tethered balloon and upper atmosphere observation (up to about 30km) using radiosondes. Surface ozone and radiation are also measured.

In its role as a technical center for aerological observation in Japan, the Observatory has a responsibility to develop and improve methods and instrumentation for upper-air observation and to provide training for meteorological experts from JMA and overseas.
