Description :
An observation utilizing an infrared thermography was conducted on January 9, 2005, in the southern slope Mt. Houkyou and its accompanying slope holding a quarry where vegetation is scarce. The aim of this study is to deduce the effect of vegetation on the thermal belt by comparing the cooling rate under differing land surface conditions; to measure the strength of the inversion layer created along the slope of Mt. Houkyou in order to quantify the role of the nocturnal drainage flow in maintaining the thermal belt.
