| Photochemical Reaction Chamber |
| Chemical reactions of minor constituents in the atmosphere like green-house gases, chlorofluorocarbons etc. can be studied under the irradiation of sunlight. |
 |
| Atmospheric Diffusion Wind Tunnel |
| The wind tunnel can simulate air pollution-related fluid dynamical phenomena in the actual atmosphere under various meteological conditions. |
 |
| Large-scale Lidar (Laser Radar) |
| Lidar can rapidly and sensitively scan both tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols which play important roles in global warming and destruction of the stratospheric ozone layer. |
 |
| Ozone Lidar (Laser Radar) |
| Lider is for altitude-resolved monitoring of the stratospheric ozone layer. |
 |
| Gas Exposure Chambers to Animals |
| The facility is useful to study effects of air pollutants such as NO2, SO2, O3 and diesel smoke on experimental animals. |
 |
| Gas Exposure Chambers to Plants |
| The facility can control concentration of air pollutants such as NO2, SO2, O3 and hydrocarbons independently with temperature, humidity and light, being useful to study effects of the pollutants on plants. |
|
| Natural Environment Simulator |
| The simulator can control the intensity and quality of light, wind velocity, temperature and humidity profiles, and soil environment, being useful to study the relationship among light, soil, atmosphere and plant, comprehensively. |
|
| Fresh Water Microcosm |
The microcosm system is suitable for studies on the mechanisms of phytoplankton bloom formation and dynamics.
|
 |
| Ocean Microcosm |
The microcosm is uniquely equipped to permit culture of marine algae and studies of CO2 dynamics and elemental cycles.
|
|
| Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imager (NMR) for Living Organisms |
| The equipment images living bodies and active metabolic functions of human and animals. |
|
| Accelerator Mass Spectrometer |
| The equipment is a very sensitive and selective method for atomic ion detection, and being used for measurements of long-lived radioisotopes such as 14C and 36Cl. |
