Abstract
This study reproduced the meteorological conditions, including typhoon movements near Japan and wind changes over Tokyo, during the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, using a numerical simulation model (Weather Research and Forecasting v4.3) and the first European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) atmospheric reanalysis of the 20th century (ERA-20C). The reproduced meteorological conditions coincided in many respects with weather analysis maps and observations produced by the Central Meteorological Observatory. Strong southerly winds around noon on the day of the earthquake were associated with a typhoon on the coast of the Sea of Japan and appear to have had a significant impact on the spread of fires immediately after the earthquake. However, the strong evening and nighttime winds observed at the Tokyo station are likely to have been local phenomena associated with the fire spread, which caused severe damage in Tokyo after the earthquake.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
