The Central Japan has notable topographical features such that high mountains of the Japanese Alps exist at its center, large plains extend in its coastal area, and it is bounded with complex coast lines at the south and north sides facing to the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan, respectively. Thus various types of local flows develop in summer season. In this situation, medium range transport of air pollutants from highly developed urban area to mountainous rural area has attracted concern of many people in applied meteorology and atmospheric environment in Japan, since it occurs in an interesting combination of several types of local winds such as land and sea breezes, mountain and valley winds, and plain-plateau winds, and the transport repeated in summer season probably causes severe damage to eco-systems in the mountainous area. Kurita et al. (1985) pointed out that the pollutants discharged in Tokyo Bay area migrate to the mountains in central Japan, i.e. the travel distance of about 150 km within one day. The distance far exceeded what was expected in simple sea breeze situation in mid-latitudes, and thus the phenomena suggested importance of combined effects of sea breeze, valley wind, and plain to plateau wind for the transport. Later Kondo (1990) numerically verified using meso-scale meteorological model that the presence of the high mountains in the central Japan, which are taller than 2000 m, is a key for the formation of the flow resulting in the medium range transport of pollutants. Kitada et al. (1998) also discussed dominant role of the high mountains of the central Japan in temporal variation of sea breezes over coastal plain area in the Pacific Ocean side, i.e., the Nohbi Plain. It was made clear more than 10 years ago, as noted above, that the pollutants released from huge urban areas in the coastal Japan such as Tokyo can be transported more than 150 km within 12 hours mostly during the daytime and reach to the mountains.
