    Compared with the 1980s, temperature is rising by about 1°C nationally in 2000 and afterwards. How to go up a local city is large, and the increase in a hot day and reduction of a cold day are also more remarkable than a big city. Moreover, the time when rain falls is also changing.

    In summer of 2007 and 2010, a number of inquest and autopsy cases in Tokyo Medical Examiner’s Office increased rapidly and conspicuously. The cause was the increase of heat stroke death caused by intense heat. We often appealed “the prevention of the heat stroke for the ministries and agencies from the standpoint of medical examiners. In the present paper, the situation of heat stroke deaths in Tokyo metropolitan area and the findings and diagnosis of heat stroke death were introduced. As well, the effects of heat and cold circumstances on human deaths were also referred.

  • The Pioneers of the International Society of Biometeorology

    Aiming for an interdisciplinary and international society, the International Society of Biometeorology was founded in 1956 by S. Tromp, a geologist who was aware that the trace elements in soil caused health problems, and F. Sargent, an ecology-minded environmental physiologist. In close liaison with the International Society, the Japanese Society of Biometeorology was founded in 1962 with scientists from variety of scientific fields, including agriculture, environmental physiology, hygiene and meteorology. Abstracts of Japanese meetings held every year were published in the International Journal of Biometeorology for 30 years, and the 10th and 18th International Congress of Biometeorology were held in Japan showing the high activity of the Japanese Society of Biometeorology worldwide.

    Vernacular architecture in the world has various design techniques controlling surrounding environment. To incorporate these techniques as well as mechanical equipments in modern architecture will contribute to creating comfortable living environment while reducing energy consumption. Indoor environment in the future will not tend to uniform environment but to selected non-uniform living environment with thermal comfort.

  • Contribution of the biometeorology to design of clothing as a protective tool

    Clothing is one of the most protective tools for human at extreme environment such as at altitude, in which both of temperature and air pressure are low. Therefore, design for clothing system at the altitude has been investigated through analytical models and human subjective experiments in terms of not only clothing science but also biometeorology. According to the works, it has been revealed that physiological responses and heat and mass transfer from human body surface to the ambient through the clothing are remarkably different at the attitude from those at the sea level. In addition, risk of hypothermia is higher at the altitude than at the sea level, because possibility of condensation in the clothing increases at the altitude. It can be noted that biometeorology is one of the important research fields for design of appropriate clothing as a protective tool.

    Biometeorology is a global research field following one of Hippocrates’s concepts “Man-Environment. As a young scientist studying temperature regulation, for continuing and growing of Japanese society of biometeorology (JSB), this paper offers what young biometeorologists should do and what JSB should do for them, and how JSB contributes to society and local communities.
