The measurement of the aerosol was originally carried out as in-situ sampling and mass weight measurement including chemical analysis. Recently, remote sensing method is applied as satellite remote sensing and surface based remote sensing. Skyradiometer and LIDAR are surface based remote sensing system. Skyradiometer measures solar radiation as direct and scattered solar radiation affected by aerosols. LIDAR emit laser beam upward and it is backscattered by overlying aerosols. The backscattered light is received by a telescope and vertical distributions of the aerosols are obtained. These measurements require atmospheric radiation physics. 　A Skyradiometer and a LIDAR were operated continuously at Okayama University campus and aerosol parameters were obtained from both of the system. Seasonal variations of the AOT (Aerosol Optical Thickness) and Angstrom parameter (α) are evaluated. During some dust events (e.g. yellow sand and PM2.5), time variations of these parameters were identified from both of the measurement system. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagamatsuSinpei en-aut-sei=Nagamatsu en-aut-mei=Sinpei kn-aut-name=永松慎平 kn-aut-sei=永松 kn-aut-mei=慎平 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=EgawaDaiki en-aut-sei=Egawa en-aut-mei=Daiki kn-aut-name=江川大貴 kn-aut-sei=江川 kn-aut-mei=大貴 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 en-keyword=Aerosol kn-keyword=Aerosol en-keyword=Skyradiometer kn-keyword=Skyradiometer en-keyword=LIDAR kn-keyword=LIDAR en-keyword=Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) kn-keyword=Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=20 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=13 end-page=24 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2013 dt-pub=20131227 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A case study on the rainfall distribution over the Japan Islands associated with the approach of Ty0423 in late October (Comparison with that for Ty0418) kn-title=2004年10月後半の台風23号に伴う日本列島での広域の降水（台風18号と比較して） en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Rainfall distribution in the Japan Islands associated with the approach of Typhoon No.23 around 20 October 2004 (referred to Ty0423, hereafter) showed considerably different features from those in late summer of this year. The present study examined the detailed rainfall features around the Japan Islands brought by Ty0423 and the atmospheric processes based on the operational observation data by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), comparing with those in association with Ty0418 around 7 September 2004. During the stage when Ty0423 was approaching or landing on the western part of the Japan Islands, the areal mean precipitation from Kyushu to Kanto District attained much larger than that for Ty0418, with wider extension of the area with the large amount of precipitation. It is interesting that, although the intense rainfall was observed only at the upstream side of the mountain range from Kyushu to Honshu District for Ty0418 except for the area near its center, strong rainfall with 10~30 mm/h persisted in wider regions from the western to the eastern part of the Japan Islands, resulting in the considerably large total rainfall for Ty0423. As for the case for Ty0423, the surface front with stable frontal surface was located just to the east of the Ty0423 center just before its landing at the Japan Islands. Thus, the huge moisture inflow mainly in the eastern region from the typhoon center seems to be redistributed widely over the Japan Islands area associated with the large-scale convergence around the stable frontal surface. In late October, the colder air associated with the high pressure system in the eastern Siberia can cover the northern part of the Japan Sea area as the seasonal march. Such basic field might be favorable for sustaining the synoptic-scale front just around the southern coast of the Japan Islands, even when the strong southerly wind invades associated with the typhoon approach there. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SatakeAi en-aut-sei=Satake en-aut-mei=Ai kn-aut-name=佐竹愛 kn-aut-sei=佐竹 kn-aut-mei=愛 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKuranoshin en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Kuranoshin kn-aut-name=加藤内藏進 kn-aut-sei=加藤 kn-aut-mei=内藏進 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriYoshinori en-aut-sei=Mori en-aut-mei=Yoshinori kn-aut-name=盛宣誠 kn-aut-sei=盛 kn-aut-mei=宣誠 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=GodaYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Goda en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=合田泰弘 kn-aut-sei=合田 kn-aut-mei=泰弘 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkedaShoichiro en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Shoichiro kn-aut-name=池田祥一郎 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=祥一郎 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 en-keyword=Ty0423 kn-keyword=Ty0423 en-keyword=Ty0418 kn-keyword=Ty0418 en-keyword=rainfall in Japan associated with a typhoon in mid-autumn kn-keyword=rainfall in Japan associated with a typhoon in mid-autumn en-keyword=effects of a typhoon on the synoptic climatology in Japan in October kn-keyword=effects of a typhoon on the synoptic climatology in Japan in October END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=19 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=39 end-page=50 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=20121226 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A case study on persistent appearance of the ensemble of precipitation bands in the warm sector of the Baiu front in the western Japan around 19 June 2001 kn-title=地上梅雨前線の南方の九州における 線状降水帯の集団の維持について （2001年6月19日頃の事例解析） en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A case study on persistent appearance of the ensemble of precipitation bands in the warm sector of the Baiu front in Kyushu District, the western part of Japan around 19 June 2001 was performed based on the operational observational data. Around 00UTC (09JST) 19 June when the Baiu front on the surface weather map was still located about a few 100kms to the north of Kyushu, the number and the total area of the meso-β or γ-scale line-shaped precipitation bands increased around Kyushu rapidly. These precipitation bands had been sustained there and gradually gathered each other to change into the Baiu frontal precipitation zone extending from the northern Kyushu to Seto-Naikai (Seto Inland Sea) around 09UTC (18JST) 19 June (the intense rainfall zone was still located in the warm sector of the Baiu front). Until ~09UTC (18JST) 19 June, the moist air flow with the latently unstable stratification had been sustained around Kyushu corresponding to the low-level southerly wind toward the surface Baiu front to the north of Kyushu. This large-scale situation would contribute greatly to the maintenance of the ensemble of the line-shaped precipitation bands in the warm sector of the Baiu front. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=GodaYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Goda en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=合田泰弘 kn-aut-sei=合田 kn-aut-mei=泰弘 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKuranoshin en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Kuranoshin kn-aut-name=加藤内藏進 kn-aut-sei=加藤 kn-aut-mei=内藏進 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科自然教育学系理科教育講座 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 en-keyword=ensemble of line-shaped precipitation bands kn-keyword=ensemble of line-shaped precipitation bands en-keyword=precipitation in the warm sector of the Baiu front kn-keyword=precipitation in the warm sector of the Baiu front en-keyword=Baiu fronal rainfall kn-keyword=Baiu fronal rainfall END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=18 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=11 end-page=18 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2011 dt-pub=20111226 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Characteristics of typhoon tracks and large-scale atmospheric fields associated with the typhoon approach to the Japan Islands in early summer kn-title=初夏に日本列島付近へ北上する台風の進路や周辺場の特徴について en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The number of typhoons approaching the Japan Islands is much smaller in May and June than in August to September. However, some typhoons abnormally approach to the Japan Islands in May or June as in 2004. The present study investigated the characteristics of the typhoon tracks and the large-scale fields in May and June associated with the approach of typhoons to the Japan Islands. Climatologically speaking, typhoons are generally formed in the lower latitude in May and early June, and tend to turn to ENE-ward before they reach ~ 20N in May by the upper- and middle-level westerly wind. In June, the upper-level easterly wind associated with the Tibetan high seems to prevent typhoons from approaching to the Japan Islands. However, when the cell-type subtropical high and the deep westerly trough in its western side are formed with the SW-ly from the lower to the middle latitude, a favorable situation for the northward invasion of the typhoon can be realized in May. On the other hand, the formation of the barotropic-like subtropical high to the southeast of the Japan Islands seems to enable a typhoon to approach to the Japan Islands by the S-ly wind around the subtropical high. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HamamotoNatsumi en-aut-sei=Hamamoto en-aut-mei=Natsumi kn-aut-name=濱本奈津美 kn-aut-sei=濱本 kn-aut-mei=奈津美 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKuranoshin en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Kuranoshin kn-aut-name=加藤内藏進 kn-aut-sei=加藤 kn-aut-mei=内藏進 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakayamaYuuki en-aut-sei=Nakayama en-aut-mei=Yuuki kn-aut-name=中山祐貴 kn-aut-sei=中山 kn-aut-mei=祐貴 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院教育学研究科自然教育学系理科教育講座 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院環境学研究科 en-keyword=typhoon tracks in early summer kn-keyword=typhoon tracks in early summer en-keyword=large-scale atmospheric fields in early summer kn-keyword=large-scale atmospheric fields in early summer END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=15 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=79 end-page=86 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2009 dt-pub=20090331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=中国寧夏地域における日照時間から日積算日射量の推定 kn-title=Estimation of daily solar radiation from sunshine durationin Ningxia region, China en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=For the estimation of daily solar radiation from sunshine duration, observation data of Yinchuan station in Ningxia, China was used. Using a linear relationship between solar radiation and extraterrestrial radiation including relative sunshine duration and daylength, we obtained local coefficients s a =0.18, s b =0.62 from past five years data(1981-1985). Using the same method, coefficients for Guyuan region were confirmed too as a representative of south part of Ningxia province. Applying the local coefficients and calculation formula of solar radiation, we validated daily solar radiation of two years(1986-1987) of Yinchuan station and four years(1991-1994) of Guyuan station. The results showed high correlation coefficients of R2=0.94 in Yinchuan and R2=0.85 in Guyuan. Error analysis was applied using mean bias error(MBE), mean absolute bias error(MABE), root mean square error(RMSE)，mean absolute percentage error(MAPE) on solar radiation of Yinchuan(1973-2006) and Guyuan(1986-2006) stations. Results showed that mean absolute bias error(MABE) was less than 13% and 17% in Yinchuan station and Guyuan station respectively. Then we have applied this method to the estimation of daily solar radiation at ‘Yongning’ station(near Yinchan) with the sunshine duration data at ‘Yongning’. The estimated values were compared with observed daily solar radiation at Yinchuan as past twelve years data(1989-2000). The results showed good linear relationship with high correlation coefficient of R2= 0.88. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YangQin en-aut-sei=Yang en-aut-mei=Qin kn-aut-name=楊勤 kn-aut-sei=楊 kn-aut-mei=勤 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Weather Station of Meteorological Bureau of Ningxia affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Daily solar radiation kn-keyword=Daily solar radiation en-keyword=Extraterrestrial radiation kn-keyword=Extraterrestrial radiation en-keyword=Relative sunshine duration kn-keyword=Relative sunshine duration en-keyword=Local coefficient kn-keyword=Local coefficient END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=6 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=13 end-page=22 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1999 dt-pub=19990920 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Measurements of CO2 in air and sea over the Western Pacific-MR98-04 Cruise- kn-title=西太平洋における大気・海洋中二酸化炭素濃度の測定 ―MR98-04 次航海― en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=It is well known that the ocean plays a very important role in the overall geochemical cycle of CO2.

Previous ship motion correction algorithm was revised as a simple scheme setting a motion sensor at the same place with the sonic anemometer. This revised eddy flux system was mounted as a routine continuous measurement system on the R/V 'Mirai' of Japan Marine Science and Technology Center. The first cruise was conducted at the tropical weatern Pacific in June 2000. Continuous sea surface fluxes were obtained and the data quality was checked with some parameters. This system is planned to be developed as a automated data processing system including ship motion correction and real-time flux evaluation system. These eddy fluxes can be integrated with the bulk fluxes and radiation fluxes to understand sea surface heat balance over the global ocean. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TakahashiSatoshi en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name=高橋聡司 kn-aut-sei=高橋 kn-aut-mei=聡司 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshidaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Ishida en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name=石田廣史 kn-aut-sei=石田 kn-aut-mei=廣史 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoneyamaKunio en-aut-sei=Yoneyama en-aut-mei=Kunio kn-aut-name=米山邦夫 kn-aut-sei=米山 kn-aut-mei=邦夫 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部地球科学科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=神戸商船大学/地球観測フロンティア affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=海洋科学技術センター en-keyword=Sea surface fliux kn-keyword=Sea surface fliux en-keyword=Automated observation kn-keyword=Automated observation en-keyword=Eddy correlation method kn-keyword=Eddy correlation method END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=9 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=41 end-page=52 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2002 dt-pub=20020920 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Fog observation in Tsuyama basin kn-title=津山盆地における霧の観測 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Tsuyama basin is the largest basin in the Chugoku District, and dense fog appears frequently in autumn/winter. The fog is considered as "radiation fog", mainly induced by radiation cooling and topographical effect as the basin, including "cold air lake". The mechanism of the fog was not studied based on field measurements. Some statistical analyses are found in the literature. So we made intensive observation of the radiation fog mainly focusing on space and time distribution for the fog appearance and disappearance. The field measurement included tethered sonde observation, mobile observation and multi-point visual observations in October, 1999 and November, 2000. According to the observation, the appearance of the fog was identified both feom visual observation and upper air sounding data. The top of the fog layer was clearly found as temperature/humidity singularities. Additionally, it is successfully confirmed the usefulness of the upward looking radiation thermometer in the fog detection. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=JokoMinoru en-aut-sei=Joko en-aut-mei=Minoru kn-aut-name=上甲実 kn-aut-sei=上甲 kn-aut-mei=実 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KiyoharaYasutomo en-aut-sei=Kiyohara en-aut-mei=Yasutomo kn-aut-name=清原康友 kn-aut-sei=清原 kn-aut-mei=康友 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Kobe University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Earth Sciences, Faculity of Science, Okayama University en-keyword=Fog kn-keyword=Fog en-keyword=Radiation cooling kn-keyword=Radiation cooling en-keyword=Tsuyama Basin kn-keyword=Tsuyama Basin en-keyword=Tethered sonde obsrvation kn-keyword=Tethered sonde obsrvation END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=9 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=31 end-page=40 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2002 dt-pub=20020920 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Meteorological and surface heat balance characteristice over different surface condidtions in arid northwest China (HEIFE area) kn-title=中国西北部乾燥地域(HEIFE領域)の様々な地表面における気象要素と熱収支特性 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Surface meteorological and heat balance were analyzed based on various surface conditions over arid region in northwest China (HEIFE area). The different surface conditions were clearly observed in summer rather than in winter. Summer data were selected from the HEIFE database. Significant evening peaks of vapor pressure were also observed in Linze oasis as well as Zhangye oasis. And the peak was accompanied by air temperature dip and relative humidity peak in the lower layer. However, the peak cannot be observed in high wind condition as the mechanical mixing reduces the vertical gradients of air temperature and humidity. The oasis can be characterized by low wind speed due to wind sheltering by plants. In winter, plant activities are reduced and surface conditions are almost similar for desert and oasis, leading to no peak of vapor pressure. Surface heat balances were also analyzed based on 4-component radiation measurement and sensible and latent heat flux measurements by eddy covariance method. Net radiation in the oasis area is about 50% larger than desert area due to the smaller upwelling radiation in oasis. Heat distribution into sensible heat and latent heat was different between oasis and desert. This unbalance of heat can lead to local circulation between oasis and desert as "desart-oasis interaction". en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YangQin en-aut-sei=Yang en-aut-mei=Qin kn-aut-name=楊勤 kn-aut-sei=楊 kn-aut-mei=勤 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Earth Sciences, Faculity of Science, Okayama University en-keyword=Vapor pressure kn-keyword=Vapor pressure en-keyword=Oasis kn-keyword=Oasis en-keyword=Desert kn-keyword=Desert en-keyword=HEIFE kn-keyword=HEIFE en-keyword=Surface heat balance kn-keyword=Surface heat balance END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=11 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=15 end-page=22 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2004 dt-pub=20041231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Increase Rate of fCO2 in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean kn-title=太平洋東部赤道海域における二酸化炭素分圧の増加速度 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean, increase rates of fCO2 in the air and the ocean were evaluated using the CDIAC data set. The fCO2 in the air was increasing about 1.28μatm/year during 1957-1995. This result is almost same as the rate at the Mauna Loa, Hawaii in Tropical Pacific Ocean. The increase rate of fCO2 in the seawater was estimated as 1.64μatm/year. In this study it is found that the increase rate of fCO2 in the seawater is the almost same as that of fCO2 in the air. This reault supports the result on the snapshot analysis of Takahashi et al. (1983) in thr North Atlantic Ocean during 1958-1982. It is smaller than the result including seasonal variation in the Eastern Subtropical Pacific Ocean. These reault indicated that the anthropogenic CO2 in the air has affected fCO2 in seawater through CO2 gas exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. It is found that fCO2 in the seawater has increased in the Eastern Equatiorial Pacific Ocean in spite of the large CO2 source region. It suggested that CO2 source potential has not changed in this ocean durung 1957-1995. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KondoFumiyoshi en-aut-sei=Kondo en-aut-mei=Fumiyoshi kn-aut-name=近藤文義 kn-aut-sei=近藤 kn-aut-mei=文義 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeShuichi en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Shuichi kn-aut-name=渡邉修一 kn-aut-sei=渡邉 kn-aut-mei=修一 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学理学部地球学科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=海洋研究開発機構地球環境観測センター en-keyword=fCO2 kn-keyword=fCO2 en-keyword=Increase Rate kn-keyword=Increase Rate en-keyword=Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean kn-keyword=Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean en-keyword=E1 Nino kn-keyword=E1 Nino en-keyword=La Nina kn-keyword=La Nina END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=39 end-page=47 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2005 dt-pub=20051231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Local wind storm (Hirodo-kaze) in northern Okayama caused by Typhoon 0421 & 0423 kn-title=2004年の台風による岡山県北部の暴風被害(広戸風)について en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In 2004, ten typhoons had landed over Japan and a lot of damages were reported due to heavy rain, storm surge and wind storms.

While, during Typhoon 0423, severe wind damages expanded west of the typical Hirodo-kaze srea as well as a new extreme. In the present report, a lot of surface meteorological data were coollected and compared the meteorological fields among two typhoons. 　 en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KataokaFumie en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Fumie kn-aut-name=片岡文恵 kn-aut-sei=片岡 kn-aut-mei=文恵 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University en-keyword=Wind Storm kn-keyword=Wind Storm en-keyword=Hirodo-kaze kn-keyword=Hirodo-kaze en-keyword=Typhoon kn-keyword=Typhoon en-keyword=Local high wind kn-keyword=Local high wind END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=31 end-page=37 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2005 dt-pub=20051231 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=中国淮河流域付近の入梅前の時期における大気場や陸面状態の季節進行 (1998年の事例解析) kn-title=Seasonal evolution of atmospheric and land surface conditions around the Huaihe River Basin in China in the pre-Meiyu stage of 1998 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=　Seasonal evolution of atmospheric and land surface conditions around the Huaihe River Basin in China in the pre-Meiyu stage of 1998 were examined, mainly based on the GAME re-analysis data. Around the Huaihe River Basin in China (just to the nront of the Changjiang River Basin), although the air temperature increased rapidly already in early June (the Meuyu front was located to the south of that region), the specific humidity did not increas so much at time. In addition, the latent heat supplied from the ground there decreased from late May to early June, compared to that before early May. The time mean southerly wind component across the low-level baroclinic Zone (although not so strong as in the mature stage of the Meiyu) invaded into Central Cjina during late April to early May. On the other hand, the relatively strong wind region once retreated southward in the middle of May associated with the onset of the Southeast Asian monsoon, and the calm wind region with frequent appearance of the surface high was seen around the Huaihe River Basin from late May to early June. Thus the present study shows that the Huaihe River Basin once experiences the rather drier stage just before the onset stage of the mature Meiyu there. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IkedaShoichiro en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Shoichiro kn-aut-name=池田祥一郎 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=祥一郎 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoKuranoshin en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Kuranoshin kn-aut-name=加藤内藏進 kn-aut-sei=加藤 kn-aut-mei=内藏進 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Faculty of Education, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University en-keyword=arid region in China and the Meiyu front kn-keyword=arid region in China and the Meiyu front en-keyword=seasonal evlution in East Asia kn-keyword=seasonal evlution in East Asia en-keyword=Land surface condition around the Meiyu front kn-keyword=Land surface condition around the Meiyu front END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=14 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=1 end-page=9 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2008 dt-pub=20080331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Storm surge in the Seto Inland Sea accompanied by Typhoons in 2004 kn-title=2004年の台風による瀬戸内海の高潮について en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In 2004, Seto Inland Sea coast suffered severe damages of storm surge. This area never experienced storm surge damage in recent half century and people were not ready for the storm surge. In two typhoons of T0416 and T0418, surge anomaly were more than 150cm in Bisan-Seto area. Storm surges appeared after the maximum approach of typhoon not only due to surface low pressure but also due to wind stress as westerly. Because of geographical complexity of Seto Inland Sea, the surge process have not been well understood. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effects of the wind and the surface pressure using a numerical model. Atmospheric model MM5 and ocean model POM were used as a numerical experiment, including the astronomical tide model NAO. Aｓ the results of numerical simulation of the storm surge, atmospheric conditions were well simulated but ocean model was rather complex. There are a lot of island in Seto Inland Sea and sea water movement in the model was very much influenced by the topography and wind stress effect appeared much smaller. In the no-island model, storm surge height was a little improved. However the simulated surge height was still less than the observed height. Further improvement of the ocean model application should be considered in future studies. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=AsanumaTomomitsu en-aut-sei=Asanuma en-aut-mei=Tomomitsu kn-aut-name=淺沼友光 kn-aut-sei=淺沼 kn-aut-mei=友光 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoOsamu en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Osamu kn-aut-name=塚本修 kn-aut-sei=塚本 kn-aut-mei=修 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OgawaKouji en-aut-sei=Ogawa en-aut-mei=Kouji kn-aut-name=小川貢司 kn-aut-sei=小川 kn-aut-mei=貢司 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院自然科学研究科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山理科大学 en-keyword=Typhoon kn-keyword=Typhoon en-keyword=Storm Surge kn-keyword=Storm Surge en-keyword=Seto Inland Sea kn-keyword=Seto Inland Sea en-keyword=surface pressure kn-keyword=surface pressure en-keyword=wind stress kn-keyword=wind stress END
