Construction of automated observation and data collection system for environmental data and development of the curriculum for atmospheric and thermal environmental education

建立了环境数据自动观测和数据采集系统，并通过互联网提供数据。在大气污染物的远距离输送方面，分析了源于中国大陆的亚洲沙尘和高浓度牛事件，阐明了它们对熊本市大气环境的影响。在热环境方面，利用气象和卫星资料对熊本市的热岛现象进行了分析。在此基础上开发了大气与热环境教育教材。提出了环境课堂教学的建议，并针对初中生进行了部分课堂教学。

The automated observation and data collection system for environmental data has been constructed and providing the data via the Internet. As for the long-range transport of air pollutant, Asian dust and high concentration Ox events originated from the Chinese continent were analyzed, and their impacts on atmospheric environment in Kumamoto were clarified. As for the thermal environment, heat island phenomena in Kumamoto was analysed by using meteorological and satellite data. Teaching materials for atmospheric and thermal environmental education were developed based on these results. The instruction for environmental class was proposed and some classes were performed for junior high school students.
