Research Abstract	東北大学理学部・同理学研究科とアラスカ大学フェアバンクス校との部局間協定にもとづき、本年度の北方圏における地球環境変動に関する共同研究は、(1)オーロラと超高層大気の研究、(2)成層圏オゾン層の研究、(3)地震・火山の研究を中心に行なった。まず、(1)オーロラと超高層大気の研究では、東北大学で開発したプロトンオーロライメージャーを昨年度にアラスカ大学地球物理学研究所ポーカーフラットリサーチレンジに設置し観測を行ったが、本年度は得られたデータの共同解析を実施するとともに、昼側カスプ領域のオーロラを観測するために本装置をスバールバルに移設する作業を共同で行った。スバールバルでの観測は1997年11月からアラスカ大学側によって行われており、得られたデータの共同解析は来年度に行う予定である。(2)成層圏オゾン層の研究では、我が国が打ち上げたADEOS衛星(みどり)との同時観測のために東北大学のレーザーヘテロダイン分光計をポーカーフラットリサーチレンジに設置し、1997年2月〜5月の間、オゾン、一酸化二窒素、メタンの観測を実施した。得られたデータの共同解析を行い、北極域の極渦内で、冬季から春季にかけてオゾン破壊が進行し、南極オゾンホールに類似した大規模なオゾン減少域が出現することを明らかにした。(3)地震・火山の研究では、アラスカ、アリューシャン、日本列島で発生する大規模地震の関係を明らかにするために、アラスカ大学地震観測ネットワークで得られたデータと東北大学などの日本の地震観測ネットワークで得られたデータの共同解析を実施し、発震メカニズムの検討を行った。さらに今後の共同観測と共同解析に関する詳細な検討を行った。
