Abstract
Tajimi, a city located in Gifu Prefecture, experienced the record high temperature in Japan (40.9°C) on August 16, 2007. The problems associated with high temperatures in summer are very serious in the city. It is considered that various factors such as topographic basin effect and heat island around Nagoya affect high temperatures in Tajimi. However, each contribution of those factors is not clear enough. In this study, a sensitivity analysis of the factors in high temperatures in Tajimi for recent five years was conducted by using a regional atmospheric model, WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting). Here, we investigated the effects of urban heat islands in Tajimi and Nagoya and topographical effects on the thermal environment in Tajimi.
