    Characteristics of sea breeze are investigated by field research and laboratory experiments. Field research was conducted at the Lake Kasumigaura where a sea-breeze front shows its plane figure through water surface ripples. Experiments were carried out using water tank with heating device below the inland part. Both front structures observed at the field and laboratory water tank are closely similar to each other.

    In this paper, fluid force acting on the cylinder subjected to fluid flow is obtained by using a discrete vortex method, then the cylinder displacement and frequency of vibration of fluid force are calculated by using the equation of motion. The result is compared with the experimental result which is performed rectangular flow channel connected to a water loop.
    From the results, it is concluded that timeseries analysis by using the descrete vortex method is available to solve the cylinder oscillation subjected to cross flow.

    Structures in the Ryukyu and the Bonin islands in the Pacific Ocean are substantially influenced by strong winds due to typhoons. The travelling path and central pressure of typhoons are summarized for 30 years from 1949 in the Ryukyu and Bonin area. The wind climate parameters, such as annual occurrence rates, travelling directions and speed of typhoons under 980 mb in central pressure, are collected for a probabilistic procedure estimating the extreme value distribution of annual maximam friction free winds. Comparison of the estimated values and observed data at seven weather stations are presented and discussed.

    A full aeroelastic cable-stayed bridge model, at a geometric scale of 1: 75, was studied in the 9m × 9m Wind Tunnel of the National Research Council of Canada. The basic structure simulates a composite cable stayed bridge over the Mississippi River at Quincy, Illinois, U.S.A. The prototype was chosen as a medium size cablestayed bridge typical of current practice. Nine deck section configurations were examined in three different flow regimes that represented scale atmospheric boundary layers . The project was carried out collaborately by the Yokohama National University, the University of Ottawa and the National Research Council of Canada.
