Research Abstract |
During this research project, main purpose was to obtain better understanding for aerosol behavior and its radiative processes in Asia-Pacific region. To complete it purpose lidar measurements at Nagoya, aircraft-borne measurements over central region of Japan islands, balloon-borne measurements at Tibetan region, China, Ship-borne measurements at Japan sea and northern Pacific Ocean and monitoring at high mountain areas were made. Additionally we improved integration model including the processes of aerosol formation, aerosol transports, chemical transformation and depositions to understand elementary processes of those and interaction of those comparing with observational facts. Aerosol and radiation measurements were made also in China and Krea. The research suggested that aerosols originated in Asian continent largely affected Japan and north Pacific ocean, and interesting facts were obtained concerning with mass flow of particulate matter, carbonaceous particle behavior, vertical transport of atmospheric constituents associate to front moving, and sea fog effect on aerosol budgets.
