To study the wind field within the atmospheric boundary layer over the Tokyo metropolitan area, Doppler lidar observations
were made 45 km north of Sagami Bay and 30 km west of Tokyo Bay, from 14 May to 15 June 2008. Doppler lidar on 27 May 2008
observed the vertical and horizontal wind structure of a well-developed sea-breeze front (SBF) penetrating from Sagami Bay.
At the SBF, a strong updraft (maximum w approximately equal to 5 m s−1) was formed with a horizontal scale of about 500 m and vertical scale of 2 km. The spatial relationship between the strong
updraft over the nose of the SBF and prefrontal thermal suggests that the strong updraft was triggered by interaction between
the SBF and the thermal. After the updraft commenced, a collocated ceilometer observed an intense aerosol backscatter up to
2 km above ground level. The observational results suggest that the near-surface denser aerosols trapped in the head region
of the SBF escaped from the nose of the SBF and were then vertically transported up to the mixing height by the strong updraft
at the SBF. This implies that these phenomena occurred not continuously but intermittently. The interaction situations between
the SBF and prefrontal thermal can affect the wind structure at the SBF and the regional air quality. 相似文献

This study investigates the structural performance of interior, exterior and corner traditional timber joints found in a traditional temple in Japan subjected to bi‐axial bending. A total of 36 half‐scale specimens were fabricated and tested under both uni‐axial and bi‐axial cyclic bending for comparison of their structural behaviour. The results show that the corner joints exhibit lower rotational stiffness than the interior and exterior joints. Further, connections subjected to only uni‐axial moments exhibit better performance with regard to moment resistance, energy dissipation and stiffness degradation as compared with those subjected to bi‐axial moments. Hence, this study suggests that if the timber joints are subjected to bi‐axial bending, this effect on timber joints should be considered during the design and evaluation process in the future.

A flight of Holocene marine terraces on the southwestern coast of Cape Omaezaki of central Japan provides evidence of recurrent millennium‐scale uplift events. We reconstructed the uplift history of these terraces by using facies analysis of drill core and geoslicer samples, environmental analysis of trace fossils, and 14C age determinations. Coastal uplift can be identified by the displacement of beach deposits such as foreshore deposits, which represent the intertidal swash zone of a wave‐dominated sandy coast. Three levels of former beach deposits facing the Nankai Trough were identified near the coast in the Omaezaki area. The highest of these, dated at about 3020–2880 BC, records a maximum of 2.2–2.7 m of emergence. The middle beach surface, of minimum age 370–190 BC, shows 1.6–2.8 m of emergence. The lowest beach surface, which is older than 1300–1370 AD, records 0.4–1.6 m of emergence. Our analysis of vertical crustal deformation data during the Holocene in this region suggests that rapid and strong uplift was restricted to the southwestern coast of the Omaezaki area and was probably caused by high‐angle thrusting on subsidiary faults branching from the underlying plate boundary megathrust. 相似文献

The Delaware River and Bay Estuary is one of the major urbanized estuaries of the world. The 100-km long tidal river portion
of the estuary suffered from major summer hypoxia in the past due to municipal and industrial inputs in the urban region;
the estuary has seen remarkable water quality improvements from recent municipal sewage treatment upgrades. However, the estuary
still has extremely high nutrient loading, which appears to not have much adverse impact. Since the biogeochemistry of the
estuary has been relatively similar for the past two decades, our multiple year research database is used in this review paper
to address broad spatial and seasonal patterns of conditions in the tidal river and 120 km long saline bay. Dissolved oxygen
concentrations show impact from allochthonous urban inputs and meteorological forcing as well as biological influences. Nutrient
concentrations, although high, do not stimulate excessive algal biomass due to light and multiple nutrient element limitations.
Since the bay does not have strong persistent summer stratification, there is little potential for bottom water hypoxia. Elevated
chlorophyll concentrations do not exert much influence on light attenuation since resuspended bottom inorganic sediments dominate
the turbidity. Dissolved inorganic carbon and dissolved and particulate organic carbon distributions show significant variability
from watershed inputs and lesser impact from urban inputs and biological processes. Ratios of dissolved and particulate carbon,
nitrogen, and phosphorus help to understand watershed and urban inputs as well as autochthonous biological influences. Owing
to the relatively simple geometry of the system and localized anthropogenic inputs as well as a broad spatial and seasonal
database, it is possible to develop these biogeochemical trends and correlations for the Delaware Estuary. We suggest that
this biogeochemical perspective allows a revised evaluation of estuarine eutrophication that should have generic value for
understanding other estuarine and coastal waters. 相似文献

The sea surface wind speed (SSWS) derived by a microwave radiometer can be contaminated by changes of the brightness temperature
owing to the angle between the sensor azimuth and the wind direction (Relative Wind Direction effect: RWD effect). We attempt
to apply the method proposed by Konda and Shibata (2004) to the SSWS derived by Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR)
on Advanced Earth Observing Satellite II (ADEOS-II), in order to correct for the RWD effect. The improvement of accuracy of
the SSWS estimation amounts to roughly 60% of the error caused by the RWD effect. Comparison with in situ observation at the
Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array shows that the root mean square error of the corrected SSWS is 1.1 ms−1. It is found that the impact of the RWD effect on the estimation of the latent heat flux can amount to about 30 Wm−2 on average. We applied the method to the SSWS derived by AMSR for Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) and obtained a similar
result. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the involvement of the thyroid gland in reproduction, thyroid functioning was described in female cultivated Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) in progressive stages of sexual maturation induced by chum salmon pituitary homogenate (SPH) treatment. Serum thyroid hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were also measured in each stage. Thyroid gland activity (epithelial cell height) was high before SPH injection (previtellogenic stage), further increasing at the early vitellogenic stage, thereafter decreasing to late vitellogenic and migratory nucleus stages. The profiles of both T3 and T4 changed during vitellogenesis, being high during previtellogenic and early vitellogenic stages, and subsequently declining, thus mimicking thyroid gland activity. These results suggest that the thyroid has relation with eel ovarian development during artificial maturation. 相似文献

Much research has been conducted for physics‐based ground‐motion simulation to reproduce seismic response of soil and structures precisely and to mitigate damages caused by earthquakes. We aimed at enabling physics‐based ground‐motion simulations of complex three‐dimensional (3D) models with multiple materials, such as a digital twin (high‐fidelity 3D model of the physical world that is constructed in cyberspace). To perform one case of such simulation requires high computational cost and it is necessary to perform a number of simulations for the estimation of parameters or consideration of the uncertainty of underground soil structure data. To overcome this problem, we proposed a fast simulation method using graphics processing unit computing that enables a simulation with small computational resources. We developed a finite‐element‐based method for large‐scale 3D seismic response analysis with small programming effort and high maintainability by using OpenACC, a directive‐based parallel programming model. A lower precision variable format was introduced to achieve further speeding up of the simulation. For an example usage of the developed method, we applied the developed method to soil liquefaction analysis and conducted two sets of simulations that compared the effect of countermeasures against soil liquefaction: grid‐form ground improvement to strengthen the earthquake resistance of existing houses and replacement of liquefiable backfill soil of river wharves for seismic reinforcement of the wharf structure. The developed method accelerates the simulation and enables us to quantitatively estimate the effect of countermeasures using the high‐fidelity 3D soil‐structure models on a small cluster of computers. 相似文献

The relationship between local meteorological fields and the behaviour of airborne Asian dust that arrived in the Tokyo metropolitan
area on 1 April 2007 with the passage of a synoptic-scale cold front has been investigated through Doppler lidar observations,
experiments using a regional atmospheric numerical model, and analyses of surface and upper-air meteorological observations.
Results of the Doppler lidar observations showed that the Asian dust passed above the metropolitan area with strong south-westerly
winds with speeds of 15–26 m s−1. Meteorological fields reproduced by the numerical experiments showed the development of a surface-based stable layer in
the metropolitan area caused by nocturnal radiational cooling near the ground surface and south-westerly warm air advection
at upper levels. The blocking effect of the mountainous region located to the west of the metropolitan area induced an area
of stagnant air inside the metropolitan area and promoted the stable layer development. Although strong downdrafts prevailed
in the upper air, the airborne Asian dust did not spread to the ground when the stable layer was formed. These results strongly
indicate that the developed stable layer prevented strong downdrafts from spreading to the ground, acting as an obstacle to
the transport of the Asian dust particles from the upper air towards the ground. This is considered to be one of the main
causes of the low appearance frequency of Asian dust phenomena near the ground in the Tokyo metropolitan area and eastern
Japan. 相似文献

Horizontal distribution of calanoid copepods in the western Arctic Ocean during the summer of 2008 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The horizontal distribution of the epipelagic zooplankton communities in the western Arctic Ocean was studied during August–October 2008. Zooplankton abundance and biomass were higher in the Chukchi Sea, and ranged from 3,000 to 274,000 ind. m?2 and 5–678 g WM m?2, respectively. Copepods were the most dominant taxa and comprised 37?94% of zooplankton abundance. For calanoid copepods, 30 species belonging to 20 genera were identified. Based on the copepod abundance, their communities were classified into three groups using a cluster analysis. The horizontal distribution of each group was well synchronized with depth zones, defined here as Shelf, Slope and Basin. Neritic Pacific copepods were the dominant species in the Shelf zone. Arctic copepods were substantially greater in the Slope zone than the other regions. Mesopelagic copepods were greater in the Basin zone than the other regions. Stage compositions of large-sized Arctic copepods (Calanus glacialis and Metridia longa) were characterized by the dominance of late copepodid stages in the Basin. Both the abundance and stage compositions of large copepods corresponded well with Chl. a concentrations in each region, with high Chl. a in the Shelf and Slope supporting reproduction of copepods resulting in high abundance dominated by early copepodid stages. 相似文献
