DISASTER PREVENTION COASTAL MAP PRODUCTION BY MMS & C3D by S. Hatake, Y. Kohori, Y. Watanabe

“…Elaborate point cloud data of 1m or smaller are expected to be used for realistic simulation of Tsunami waves going upstream around shoreline. Tests were made in Tokyo Bay (in 2014) and Osaka Bay (in 2015). The purpose the test in Osaka Bay is to make coastal map for disaster prevention as a countermeasure for predicted Nankai massive earthquake. …”

Ship Detection with Spectral Analysis of Synthetic Aperture Radar: A Comparison of New and Well-Known Algorithms by Armando Marino, Maria J. Sanjuan-Ferrer, Irena Hajnsek, Kazuo Ouchi

“…Specifically, the employed data consist of six RADARSAT-2 fine quad-polacquisitions over the North Sea, five TerraSAR-X HH/VV dual-polarimetric data-takes, also over the North Sea, and one ALOS-PALSAR quad-polarimetric dataset over Tokyo Bay. Simultaneously to the SAR images, validation data were collected, which include the automatic identification system (AIS) position of ships and wind speeds. …”

On the resonance hypothesis of storm surge and surf beat run-up by N. Postacioglu, M. S. Özeren, U. Canlı

“…One reason why we include a bathymetric discontinuity is to mimic some natural settings where bays and gulfs may lead to abrupt depth gradients such as the Tokyo Bay. The other reason is, as mentioned above, to test the role played by the depth discontinuity for resonance.…”

Metagenomic Analysis of Urban Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluents in Tokyo by Sekizuka T, Itokawa K, Tanaka R, Hashino M, Yatsu K, Kuroda M

“…This study aimed to assess effluents from urban WWTPs around the Tama River and Tokyo Bay using metagenomic analysis of (AMR) genes (ARGs) and heavy-metal resistance genes.Methods: Metagenomic DNA-seq analysis of water samples and resistome analysis were performed.Results: The most prevalent ARG was the sulfonamide resistance gene, sul1, followed by the quaternary ammonium compound resistance gene, qacE, suggesting that basic gene sets (sul1 and ∆qacE) in the class 1 integrons are the predominant ARGs. …”

Differences in Model Performance and Source Sensitivities for Sulfate Aerosol Resulting from Updates of the Aqueous- and Gas-Phase Oxidation Pathways for a Winter Pollution Episode... by Syuichi Itahashi, Kazuyo Yamaji, Satoru Chatani, Hiroshi Hayami

“…During the haze period, contributions from other sources (overseas and volcanic emissions) dominated, while domestic sources, including transportation and fuel combustion, played a role in enhancing SO₄^2&#8722; concentrations around Tokyo Bay. Updating the aqueous phase metal catalyzed and NO₂ oxidation pathways lead to increase contribution from other sources, and the additional gas phase SCI chemistry provided a link between fugitive VOC emission and SO₄^2&#8722; concentration via changes in O₃ concentration.…”
