In order to analyze the impacts of the greening of landfills in Tokyo bay, we conducted quantitative evaluation of the thermal and wind condition around the area using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The conclusions derived from this study are; (1) Although temperature in landfills didn’t change from 6AM to 15PM, it declined 1.4℃ from 0 AM to 6 AM and from 15 PM to 24 PM compared to the present land-use. (2) Wind speed around the landfills also declined mainly due to the pressure-gradient force decrease. (3) Relatively cool area reached only about 10km away from the landfills.
