Introduction In urban areas including smaller towns, the presence of ambient artificial particulate matters (PM) (e.g., aged fine PM and asbestos) and biological particles has been one of the main causes of adverse effects on human health and air quality. Bioaerosols are airborne particles of biological origin (e.g., bacteria, fungi, pollen, viruses). Some biological contaminants trigger allergic reactions, including hypersensitivity pneumonitis, allergic rhinitis, and some types of asthma. In Japan, there is peculiar annual variation in these ambient PM due to the sources as well as the changing weather. Most synergistic effects take place during spring because of windborne pollen from trees, especially Japanese cedar trees. From 1949 to 1970, a large number of Japanese cedar trees were planted in many parts of Japanese Island because of a great demand for new housing after World War II.

  • The Case Study of the Storm Surges in the Seto Inland Sea Caused by Typhoon Chaba
    THE CASE STUDY OF THE STORM SURGES IN THE SETO INLAND SEA CAUSED BY TYPHOON CHABA 1 2* 2** NADAO KOHNO ; KAZUO KAMAKURA ; HROAKI MINEMATSU ; 3*** AND DAISUKE UENO3 1 Typhoon Research Department, Meteorological Research Institute 1-1Nagamine, Tsukuba 305-0052, Japan e-mail: [email protected] 2 Observation and Forecast Division, Takamatsu Local Observatory 1277-1 Fuki-ishi, Takamatsu 761-8071, Japan e-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] 3 Office of Marine Prediction, Japan Meteorological Agency 1-3-4 Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 761-8071, Japan e-mail: [email protected] Typhoon Chaba in 2004 made landfall on the southeastern Kyushu and went through Chugoku (western part of Japan’s Main Island) on 30 August, causing large storm surges in the Seto Inland Sea (SIS). The highest tides yet were recorded at tide stations in Takamatsu and Uno Ports. We analyzed the tidal data and simulated this case with numerical storm surge models. The results revealed that the wind set-up basically played a key role in causing the large storm surges. However, the maximum storm surge (MSS) in Takamatsu did not occur when the typhoon was the nearest to the city, but about 2 hours later. Since the time of MSS approximately corresponds to the high spring tide time, the record breaking storm tide was observed there. We also investigated the degrees of the contribution of two main factors of storm surges, i.e. inverted barometric effect and wind set-up, in each area. As a result, it turned out that the peak times of each effect were influenced by the geographical feature, as well as the wind field and the position of the typhoon, and had different characters in areas.
