The baseline case simulation was conducted for a period from April 1st, 2007 to March 31st, 2012 (Japanese fiscal year (JFY) 2007–2011) with a spin-up period from April 1st, 2006 to March 31st, 2007 using meteorological data derived from GPV MSM. The mean annual values of observed air temperature, wind speed, and precipitation at the Hikone Local Meteorological Observatory are shown in Table 2. The values of observed mean daily air temperature, wind speed, and precipitation data at Hikone are shown in Figure 2(a)–2(c), respectively. As described in Figure 2(b), the wind speed during autumn and winter was higher than other seasons. Seasonal mean values of them are indicated in Table 2. The periods from April to June, July to September, October to December, and January to March were set as spring, summer, autumn, and winter, respectively.
