Atmospheric Environmental Information Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab investigates global environmental change through the trace components of the atmosphere.
AboutAbout the lab
The “minority” making up less than 1% of the atmosphere shapes the Earth's environment.
The Atmospheric Environmental Information Lab, centered on field observations and laboratory experiments, works to clarify the behavior of trace substances, such as carbon dioxide and methane, that make up only a tiny fraction of Earth's atmosphere.
Environmental changes such as global warming, ozone depletion, and photochemical oxidants are closely linked to changes in the distribution of atmospheric trace constituents, and the lab investigates the transformation and cycling of trace substances to uncover the essence of environmental change.
The lab values a flexible approach that is not bound by disciplinary frameworks such as science, agriculture, and engineering.
Key terms
- Trace substances
- Components present in only very small amounts in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane
- Air quality
- The amounts and properties of gases and particles in the air, which are related to issues such as air pollution
- Eddy covariance method
- A method that measures atmospheric turbulence to determine the exchange of substances between the ground surface and the atmosphere
ResearchResearch themes
Centered on field observations and laboratory experiments, the lab clarifies the dynamics of trace substances in Earth's atmosphere.
*Illustrative imageLinks between the Atmosphere and Terrestrial Ecosystems
The lab investigates the transformation and cycling of trace substances exchanged between terrestrial ecosystems, including vegetation, and the atmosphere, aiming to understand how the two are interconnected. It develops high-sensitivity laser-based measurement techniques and also conducts field observations in Japan and abroad.
*Illustrative imageAir Quality in Human Living Environments
The lab studies temporal and spatial variations in air quality in cities and indoors, and the factors behind them. In collaboration with Osaka Metropolitan University, it is developing a method that uses the eddy covariance technique to directly measure air pollutants emitted from large cities.
