  • Seasonal Variations of Volcanic Ash and Aerosol Emissions Around Sakurajima Detected by Two Lidars
    atmosphere Article Seasonal Variations of Volcanic Ash and Aerosol Emissions around Sakurajima Detected by Two Lidars Atsushi Shimizu 1,* , Masato Iguchi 2 and Haruhisa Nakamichi 2 1 National Institute for Environmental Studies, Tsukuba 305-8506, Japan 2 Sakurajima Volcano Research Center, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Kagoshima 891-1419, Japan; [email protected] (M.I.); [email protected] (H.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-29-850-2489 Abstract: Two polarization-sensitive lidars were operated continuously to monitor the three-dimensional distribution of small volcanic ash particles around Sakurajima volcano, Kagoshima, Japan. Here, we estimated monthly averaged extinction coefficients of particles between the lidar equipment and the vent and compared our results with monthly records of volcanic activity reported by the Japan Meteorological Agency, namely the numbers of eruptions and explosions, the density of ash fall, and the number of days on which ash fall was observed at the Kagoshima observatory. Elevated extinction coefficients were observed when the surface wind direction was toward the lidar. Peaks in extinction coefficient did not always coincide with peaks in ash fall density, and these differences likely indicate differences in particle size. Keywords: volcanic ash; aerosol; lidar; extinction coefficient; horizontal wind Citation: Shimizu, A.; Iguchi, M.; 1. Introduction Nakamichi, H. Seasonal Variations of Volcanic eruptions are a natural source of atmospheric aerosols [1]. In the troposphere Volcanic Ash and Aerosol Emissions and stratosphere, gaseous SO2 is converted to sulfate or sulfuric acid within several around Sakurajima Detected by Two days, which can remain in the atmosphere for more than a week.

  • An Analysis of Human Damage Caused by Recent Heavy Rainfall Disasters in Japan
    An analysis of human damage caused by recent heavy rainfall disasters in Japan Motoyuki USHIYAMA¹ ¹ Iwate Prefectural University, Iwate, Japan Abstract: The development and analysis of a database that will aid in the mitigation of human damage (that is, deaths or missing persons) caused by natural disasters are very important, and a method to do these tasks has been established in Japan. First, we developed a victim database for the typhoon No. 0423 disaster, the typhoon No. 0514 disaster and the heavy rainfall disaster of July 2006, and the victims were classified based on whether they were dead or missing. In the present study, we estimate whether any loss was mitigated by the use of disaster information. In the case of the typhoon No.0514 disaster, the estimated mitigation percentage of victims is 75%. However, in the case of the typhoon No.0423 disaster, the mitigation is only 36%. Disaster information is a useful disaster mitigation measure, but there is a limit to its effect. Key words: heavy rainfall disaster, deaths or missing persons, disaster information, disaster mitigation. 1 INTRODUCTION 2 METHODOLOGY Analyzing the causes of death in a natural disaster is Basic data come from the outline of disaster statistics important for disaster prevention efforts. In Japan, there provided by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency have been studies on the causes of death during earthquakes (FDMA). Detailed information of victims was collected (Japan's National Land Agency, 2000, Kobayashi, 1981), from the national newspapers, local newspapers and web and there have been several studies on the human damage pages of the prefectural offices, municipality offices and caused by heavy rainfall disasters, such as the case studies of elsewhere.
