Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to understand the past environmental change over the past decades in the northern Japan where is the blank area and period of paleoclimatology, although the importance of reconstruction during the past centuries is described by IPCC report. We used the lake sediment core, Ichinomegata in Akita prefecture. This core has lamination and records annual or seasonal environmental change. We focused on the understanding the north and south migration of Westerly associated with climate change over the past 60 years. The northward prominent of Westerly means relatively warm climate in the northern Japan and vice versa. As a result, dust supply from the Taklimakan increased as compared with that from the Gobi in the beginning of 1960's, from the end of 1970's to early 1980's. The decadal oscillation that major dust source Desert changes between Taklimakan and Gobi might be related to the decadal oscillation of the Westerly north and south migration.
