Abstract

It is important to estimate corrosion environment of steel bridges for an appropriate corrosion prevention and maintenance program. Estimation of environment has heavily depended on insitu observation and many data have been collected. However, versatile numerical approaches to this problem has not fully pursued yet. To this end, observation of airborne sea salt particles was performed with a standard low volume sampler (JIS Z 8814) beginning from April, 2013 to August, 2013 in the city of Nagoya and compared analytical estimation. A meso scale meteorological analysis employed here is WRF-Chem Ver. 3.4. Although WRF uses land use and terrain data based on USGS by default, the data is sometimes incorrect in Japan and yields inaccurate results especially for wind. Introduction of more accurate land use and geographic data supplied by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan improves accuracy of basic meteorological data and therefore concentration of airborne sea salt particles. Other factors affecting accuracy of airborne sea salt concentration will also be discussed.
