AI in Research
We use generative AI as a research aid alongside observations and analysis. Human review of its outputs remains central to examining questions and interpretations.
Academic Research Division of F-Factory Co., Ltd.
Understanding near-Earth space. Sharing research with society.
We study ionospheric and geomagnetic variations using satellite and ground observations.
We use generative AI in our research and support researchers with AI adoption and academic websites.
01 Research Domains
Research Areas
We compare satellite, ground-based magnetic-field, and GNSS data to study variations in the near-Earth environment and the conditions behind them.

Low-Earth-Orbit Observations
We compare satellite magnetic-field and plasma data with ground observations, accounting for the satellite position and observation time.
Geomagnetic Pulsations
We study short-period magnetic-field variations such as Pc3 by examining their periods, polarization, and background space conditions.
Ionosphere and Atmosphere
We use GNSS-TEC and satellite data to examine ionospheric changes and their possible connections with atmospheric and geophysical events.
Data Analysis and Visualization
We use time series, frequency analysis, and maps to show patterns in the data, and document the processing so others can check the results.
02 Generative AI for Research
Generative AI
for research.
F-Factory Research incorporates generative AI into its research. We bring that approach to training and adoption support for researchers and research teams.

Words and figures
that make research clearer.
Explore terms such as TEC and geomagnetic pulsations, diagrams of observation methods, and guides to reading the data. These pages offer a starting point for understanding the research.
We explain observations separately from their interpretation. When a cause is uncertain, we describe possible explanations and what would be needed to test them.
05 Data & Methods
Data and Methods
Which data were used, how were they processed, and what do the figures show? These pages explain the steps and caveats needed to check an analysis.
- 01
Data Review
We check the provider, product name, version, target period, and terms of use.
- 02
Quality Review
We check gaps and quality flags, and align time, coordinates, and observation paths.
- 03
Analysis and Visualization
We state the processing conditions and read the results alongside the original values and comparison data.
- 04
Record and Publication
We explain the results with their sources, limitations, and conditions for reuse.
