Bandai-Asahi National Park Extends Over a Wide Area, Including the Three Mountains of Dewa, the National Park Asahi, Iide, Azuma, and Adatera Mountain Ranges, Mt 北海道 青森県 Primeval forests retain their ancient beauty, while 06 Bandai-Asahi the volcanic landscape continues to change Bandai-Asahi National Park extends over a wide area, including the Three Mountains of Dewa, the National Park Asahi, Iide, Azuma, and Adatera Mountain Ranges, Mt. Bandai, and Lake Inawashiro. It is also the second largest national park in Japan in terms of land area. The Three Mountains of Dewa are famous as places of mountain worship and historical importance. Much of the primeval秋田県 natural environment 岩手県 of Iide and Asahi Mountain Ranges has also been preserved in their ancient form. The area around the Azuma and Adatera Mountain Ranges, and Mt. Bandai features exciting landscapes created by volcanic activity as well as beautiful, diverse scenery formed by lakes, ponds, and forests of various sizes. Urabandai is known for its various species of wild birds and visitors can enjoy birdwatching all year round. The lush forests covering the foothills and mountainsides of the area around the Three Mountains of Dewa and Asahi are home to various animals and plants. This area is full of exciting features, including deeply forested mountains, impressive volcanic terrains, lakes and ponds abundant with water, and mountain worshipping spiritual traditions. The national park has many mountains suitable for climbers of all levels, making it a popular spot among mountaineers. It is also easily accessible from many urban areas and many visitors come to climb mountains, see beautiful scenery, enjoy onsen hot springs, and ski in the winter months, among many other leisure activities. ■Access Shonai Tsuruoka Station Airport Kotakuji · Gassan Shonai Airport Visitor Center mae Bus stop Miyagi Prefecture Yamagata Prefecture Koriyama Station Tokyo Station Haneda Airport Tohoku Shinkansen Fukushima Niigata Goshikinuma Station Mt.

  • JAPAN's MOST UNFORGETTABLE SHRINES Relaxing Is One Thing
    JAPAN’S MOST UNFORGETTABLE SHRINES Relaxing is one thing, but to feel at peace, you need to step away from the neon signs and busy streets and explore the spiritual side of Japan. Shrines are an integral part of Japanese cultural tapestry. You will find these places of worship hidden in forest sandwiched between office towers on busy streets or clinging into mountain tops visiting them can be a spiritual experience, a chance to gain insights into Japanese tradition and history, or simply enjoy serene escape from the busy city life. Shrines are considered to be the residences of Kami (Shinto gods) and are used as places of worship. The names of Shinto shrines in Japan can end in –jinja, jingu (for Imperial shrines), or taisha. Shrines are built to serve the Shinto religious tradition and are characterized by a Torii gate at the entrance decorated with vermillion, and are guarded by fox, dog, or other animal statues. The architecture of a shrine typically includes a main sanctuary (honden), where the shrine’s sacred object is kept, and a worship hall (haiden), where people make prayers and offerings. Some shrines may have treasury buildings and stages for dance or theatre performances. There are close to 80,000 Shinto shrines in Japan and are of several different categories like: • Sengen shrines- dedicated to the Shinto deity of Mt. Fuji • Hachiman shrines- dedicated to the Kami of war • Inari shrines- dedicated to the Kami of huge harvest of grains • Kumano shrines - dedicated to the twelve Kami, three Grand Shrines in the three Kumano mountains • Tenjin shrines- dedicated to the Kami of Sugawara No Michizane, a politician and scholar FUSHIMI INARI SHRINE Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社, Fushimi Inari Taisha) is an important Shinto shrine in southern Kyoto.

Introduction On March 11, 2011 at 14:46 JST the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred with the epicenter around 70 kilometers east of Tōhoku. It was the most powerful recorded earthquake ever hit Japan with a magnitude of 9.03 Mw. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami that reached heights of up to 40 meters in Miyako, Iwate prefecture and travelled up to 10 km inland in Sendai area. The earthquake and tsunami caused many casualties and immense damages in North-eastern Japan. According to some estimates that is the costliest natural disaster in the world history [Kim]. Official figure of damages to agriculture, forestry and fisheries alone in 20 prefectures amounts to 2,384.1 billion yen [MAFF]. The earthquake and tsunami caused a nuclear accident3 in one of the world’s biggest nuclear power stations - the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Okuma and Futaba, Fukushima prefecture. After cooling system failure three reactors suffered large explosions and level 7 meltdowns leading to releases of huge radioactivity into environment [TEPCO]. Radioactive contamination has spread though air, rains, dust, water circulations, wildlife, garbage disposals, transportation, and affected soils, waters, plants, animals, infrastructure, supply and food chains in immense areas.

  • Modelling Global Fresh Surface Water Temperature
    Modelling global fresh surface water temperature Tessa Eikelboom MSc Thesis Physical Geography May 2010 Supervisors: Dr. L.P.H. van Beek and Prof. Dr. Ir. M.F.P. Bierkens Department of Physical Geography Faculty of Geosciences Utrecht University 1 ABSTRACT A change in fresh surface water temperature influences biological and chemical parameters such as oxygen and nutrient availability, but also has major effects on hydrological and physical processes which include transport, sediment concentration, ice formation and ice melt. The thermal profile of fresh surface waters depends on meteorological and morphological characteristics. Climate change influences the water and energy budget and thereby also the thermal structure of fresh surface waters. The oceans temperature is influenced by the inflow of rivers and streams. The variations in fresh surface water temperatures are only known for a scarce amount of long term temperature records. The understanding of changes in thermal processes by modelling the variations in temperature over time is therefore very useful to simulate the global effect of climate change on water temperatures. A physical based model was validated with regional daily and global monthly water temperature data of fresh surface water which includes both rivers and lakes. The basic assumption for the PCR‐GLOBWB model is the assumption that the fresh surface water temperature is the net result of all incoming en outgoing fluxes. The global hydrological model PCR‐GLOBWB contains a water and heat budget. The heat balance is solved using the following terms: short‐wave insolation, long‐wave atmospheric radiation, water‐surface backscatter, evaporation, air/water conduction and can be simplified into lateral and advective energy.

National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention 3. Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University •Observation of spray icing •Thin section, NMR imaging •Cold laboratory experiment •Estimation of Snow Mass Fraction IWAIS2015 Uppsala Spray ice is frozen ice formed from sea or lake spray water in cold regions and accreted on ships, offshore structures, and trees in lakeside, developing into a massive ice form. Spray On Breakwater Freezing spray is the main cause of spray icing. Contribution of snow accretion? Spray ice accretion often occurs under intense snowfall. The contribution of snow to spray icing is investigated using field observations and laboratory experiments. • We collected samples of spray ice, snow, and water on the west coast of Hokkaido Island and in Lake Inawashiro and Lake Towada of Main Island, Japan. • The structural characteristics of the spray ice were analyzed using conventional thin- section and NMR imaging. • The snow mass fraction of the spray ice samples was calculated from the isotopic mass balance. West coast of Hokkaido Island High waves caused by north-westerly wind often generated a heavy spray jet at the dummy light beacons. The spray icing grew under heavy sea-water spray and during low temperatures. Additionally, stormy weather often generated not only heavy spray jets, but also intense snowfall. Thin section of sea spray ice Layered structure of a sea-water spray ice sample in cross section. The observed layering in the samples depends on the growth history of the spray ice.
