Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through this project, I stayed San Diego State University and Scripps Institution of Oceanography for 6 months in total. During then, vapor isotope observation data were collected from all over the world, and those papers that estimated transpiration fraction with various methods were compiled. Thus, the more accurate value of global transpiration fraction over total evapotranspiration was estimated. Furthermore, I evaluated the impact of vapor isotope observation by IASI spectrometric instrument on European satellite MetOp on improvement in analyses of atmospheric dynamic fields.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本課題では、32篇の論文出版や15件の学会発表を行うことが出来た。こうした効果的な研究活動ができたのも、国際共同研究加速の際の必須項目である海外研究機関への長期派遣(本課題では約半年間)があったからである。日常の膨大な数の会議から離れ、落ち着いた環境でじっくり研究について考えられる期間があることが、研究を進めるにあたって極めて大切であると痛感できた。ここにこのようなプログラムを考えてくださった方々に深く感謝したい。
