ABSTRACT

This article focused on weather observation on the Korean Peninsula and the development of war. During the Russo-Japanese War, the temporary observatory set up by the Central Meteorological Observatory of Japan's Interior Ministry was in charge of all parts except maritime observation. The watchtower installed by the Japanese Navy was in charge of maritime weather observation. The Japanese Army also organizes a temporary organization, but there was little actual activity, and information was received through the Central Meteorological Observatory. Accordingly, this article first identified the purpose of establishing a temporary observation station supervised by the Japanese Ministry of Interior. Next, it was revealed that the Japanese Navy built a watchtower to conduct maritime weather observation and form an observation system. Finally, we looked at how Japan operated weather information militarily through the establishment of communication networks and the operation of military communication handling stations. The above study attempted to re-examine Japan's invasion of the Korean Peninsula. And I tried to discuss the Russo-Japanese War from various perspectives. In addition, the study was expanded from the perspective of military history by informing the importance of weather in the history of war.
