Fuchu AMEDAS & TUAT Temperature Meter Data

THE DIFFERENCE  & RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FUCHU AMEDAS & TUAT AIR AND SOIL TEMPERATURE METER DATA

In Japan, the citizens commonly run their activity based on the weather forecast, so that the weather forecast, including the system and the device are very important. 

Now the Japan weather forecast are processed from the data obtained from The Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System (AMeDAS) that measuring precipitation, wind direction/speed, temperature and sunshine duration (with snow cover meter). 

Beside that, Tokyo University of Agriculture & Technology (TUAT) also have air and soil temperature meter that installed in TUAT campus inner and outer forest. That temperature meter installed by Forest Hydrology laboratory, Natural Environment Conservation division, department of Ecoregion Science, Faculty of Agriculture, TUAT for research of their student.

So the differences or similarities between the data from the Fuchu Amedas and the air and soil temperature meter that installed in TUAT campus inner forest are sought. Also for the relationship between air temperature and soil temperature.

Aims:
  • To study about AMEDAS as Japan weather forecasting system device
  • To know the difference between data obtained from AMEDAS and air and soil temperature device installed in TUAT campus
  • To know about the relationship between air and soil temperature
Data obtaining method:
  • Fuchu Amedas
Hourly weather temperature data from October 14-25th 2016 are obtained from JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) website at http://www.jma.go.jp/en/amedas_h/today-44116.html? 
  • Inner forest air & soil temperature meter
Soil and air temperature data from October 14-25th 2016 are obtained by data logger from the air and soil temperature meter that installed in TUAT campus inner forest.

Data obtained & processed result:






The  Difference and Similarities Between Fuchu Amedas Weather Temperature & Inner Forest Air Temperature


Data Explanation:
  • The data between Fuchu Amedas hourly weather temperature data & inner forest air temperature data are 99% similar
  • The difference between both data is the Fuchu Amedas temperature is mostly higher in the daytime and lower in the night time. 
  • It caused by the difference of  the installation location. 
  • The Fuchu Amedas that installed at the open air may get more sunshine than the device installed in inner forest which the sunshine are blocked by trees canopy. 

The  Relationship Between Inner Forest Air Temperature & Soil Temperature


Data Explanation:
  • The change of air temperature caused the change of soil temperature. It can be seen expecially in the upper soil temperature data (5 cm)
  • The deeper the soil, the temperature are quite stable and not so affected by the air temperature change. It can be seen in the deepest soil temperature data (40 cm)
  • The soil temperature changing are depends on the heat intensity that received from the sun shine.
  • The upper soil receive more heat from sunshine than the deeper soil.

The  Peak Weather Temperature Value and Time


Data Explanation:
  • The highest weather temperature between October 14-25th 2016 is 28ºC at 2 PM on October 20th
  • The lowest weather temperature between October 14-25th 2016 is 7.7ºC at 5 AM on October 25th
  • In average, the peak of the temperature during the dates are 18.7ºC and happen at around 2:10 PM.
  • In average, the lowest of the temperature during the dates are 13.49ºC and happen at around 5:27 AM.


Conclusion:
  • The data between Fuchu Amedas hourly weather temperature data & inner forest air temperature data are 99% similar
  • The difference is the Fuchu Amedas temperature is mostly higher in the daytime and lower in the night time -> higher amplitude 
  • The change of air temperature caused the change of soil temperature. -> can be seen in the upper soil (5 cm), >40cm are stable
  • The soil temperature changing are depends on the heat intensity that received from the sun shine.
  • The difference of  the installation location and number of vegetation shades also become the difference factor -> inner forest & experiment field

Sekilas Tentang Arsitektur Lanskap

Kadang bingung kalo mau ngejelasin cuma dengan beberapa kata karena waktu yang singkat kalo ada orang yang nanya tentang jurusan yang lagi saya jalanin sekarang. Arsitektur lanskap? Hmm, kadang jawaban yang keluar dari mulut cuma seputar arsitektur pertamanan beserta sedikit penjelasan tentang perbedaannya sama teknik arsitektur atau arsitektur interior, jurusan yang sama-sama ada kata arsitektur di dalamnya.  Bener sih, ilmu Arsitektur Lanskap itu perkembangan lebih lanjut dari ilmu awalnya yaitu Arsitektur Pertamanan. Tapi yang banyak orang pikir; bikin taman? Nyusun-nyusun tanaman di depan halaman rumah? Lah, itu mah nggak usah susah susah belajar jadi Arsitek Lanskap, tukang kebun atau tukang bikin taman pinggir jalan juga bisa! Padahal sebenernya dunia arsitektur lanskap yang belum banyak orang tau ini nggak cuma se-sempit kelihatannya. Nah, berhubung besok pagi saya ujian mata kuliah Daskap alias Dasar-Dasar Arsitektur Lanskap dan baru aja selesai baca abis slide sesi u

#DaysInJapan: Totoro Forest

Totoro Forest is a conservation forest located in Sayama Hills, Tokyo, which is categorized as a deciduous broadleaf forest. It name, Totoro, was taken from the main character of the animated movie titled “My Neighbor Totoro” that aired at 1988 by Studio Ghibli. The location of scenes in this movie are actually inspired by actual places in this forest. Hayao Miyazaki, who is the director of that movie, is the owner of the foundation that manage this forest called National Trust of Totoro No Furusato (Totoro Hometown) or simply called Totoro Fund . From the animations he made, we can see that Hayao Miyazaki is very concerned in the environmental conservation issues. That’s why he made this foundation which is named after one of  his animation masterpiece.
