Heat and Water Budget over the Japan Sea and the Japan Islands in Winter Season

Polar Low Development over the East Coast of the Asian Continent on 9-11 December 1985

“…The stations 31-909 and 47-401 were located in the easterly flow on the north side of the shear line, while the It is obvious that, in 1000-600 mb layer, the higher temperature was associated with the easterly wind from the oceanic areas to the continent, and the lower temperature was associated with the westerly wind from the continent to the oceanic areas. tamed in the lower troposphere in the northwesterly flow over the sea areas due to the airmass transformation process (Ninomiya, 1968). The moist layers in which the dew-point depression is smaller than 3* over stations 31-909, 31-960 and 47-412 are indicated by the hatched layers in Fig.…”

Doppler Radar Analysis of the Structure of Mesoscale Snow Bands Developed between the Winter Monsoon and the Land Breeze

“…The equation for the conservation of heat is given by where Qs is the latent heat supplied from the sea surface to the land breeze layer, and cp is the specific heat at constant pressure. Ninomiya (1968) estimated a value of Qs as 680-970ly day-1 through a heat budget analysis over the Japan Sea. The present study, it is assumed that a Qs of 700ly day-1 was supplied to the land breeze layer through a 1km depth and that the latent heat supply was confined only to this layer.…”

Multi-scale Features of Baiu, the Summer Monsoon over Japan and the East Asia

“…Therefore the winter monsoon season is the dry season, in general, over East Asia. An airmass transformation takes place, when the cold dry continental airmass flows over the warm sea surface (Ninomiya, 1968(Ninomiya, , 1976Ninomiya and Akiyama, 1976).…”
