however, in some years, the pacific ocean high-pressure zone is weak, and the high-pressure zone in theea of okhotsk is strong. when this happens, a cold air mass will move south, cold winds will blow into tohoku from the north, and we get the phenomenon known as yamase. when yamase occurs, temperatures stay below 20 degrees celsius, even in august. cold temperatures can last for a long time-- as long as ten days or even a month. when this happens, the rice kernels don't form. narrator: ly is crucl to devopment of the rice keels-- it iduring this time the fin the seasonlant. that they're fng inside thetalks. dunghis period kobayashi checks his fields three times a day. he is constant fine-tuningthed to correspond to changes in. since the temperature water iof the wateraises e lt will be warmer than the air, the deeper water protects the delicate ears from the cold air. in 1993, the cold weather brought to northern japan by yamase continued into august. damage to the rice crop was severe. in some regions, the harvest was a total loss. in september of that year, government offials came to

so it's no more than 10 minutes and at the same time the waves start moving through the pacific ocean and in 21 hours it hits the coast of hawaii. so everybody was affected because of that. in mexico, for instance, the variation of time was 1 1/2 meters. as you can see there, when that happened, 3.34, immediately we have different waves. the high of that wave was at about 50 meters but one hour after that in one place we start having waves of 30 meters. a happened in the island of guata after that, 7:00 in the morning we are still having different waves at different places in the coast arriving every 30 minutes and the average high was about 15 meters, which is a lot. another massive effect was that the south american plate jumped over nafka plate, or nafka plate gets down. we moved 3 meters to the west and at the same time we lift up at about 3 meters in certain areas. so navy -- this is very important because in some places where you are supposed to get into with your ships, not any more. so a hydrographic survey, certain port was absolutely mandatory when you have this event. i sai
