Physical, Chemical and Biological Studies on Monitoring of Marginal Seas for Pceam Fprecastomg

1.为实现日本海、东中国海、黄海、黑潮海域的监测预报，我们协调了重点区域科学研究计划中的8个课题组，推动了它们的合作。我们根据我们的结果建立了边缘海和黑潮监测和预报系统的图像。每年11月，我们都会召开项目研讨会和指导小组会议，以了解我们的研究进展，并讨论如何推进我们的项目。每年3月印发进展报告，包括当年的研究内容和成果、来年的研究计划、研讨会的发言提纲等。我们计划了与我们的项目相关的研究邮轮，并考虑了团队之间在邮轮上的合作。特别是在白尾丸KH-99-4、KH-00-4、KH-01-1(第一航段)、KH-02-3航次进行了水团、流速、化学和生物等方面的观测，取得了显著的成果。根据2000年9-10月KH-00-4巡航期间的海洋条件，将观测结果与数值预报结果进行了比较。这些结果和主要在此期间的观测数据被记录在光盘中，这对于了解我们的研究大纲和思考下一步的监测和预测一定是有用的。我们发行了《开心月刊》第34卷第1期(2002年1月号)(77页)。题为《边缘海海洋环境监测》，公布我们的研究内容和成果。我们将声学多普勒海流剖面仪从退役的Akebono号渡轮移至新渡轮，以继续监测托卡拉海峡的黑潮流速。

1. To realize monitoring and forecast in the Japan Sea, the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Kuroshio region, we coordinated eight research groups in our program of the Scientific Research on Priority Areas, and promoted their cooperation. We built an image of the system for monitoring and forecast of marginal seas and the Kuroshio on a basis of our results.2. We held a symposium of our program and a meeting of the steering group in every November, to understand our research progress and discuss on how to forward our program. We printed and distributed progress report in every March, which shows research contents and results in the year, research plan in the next year, outlines of the talks in the symposium, etc.3. We planned research cruises related to our program and considered cooperation in the cruise between the groups. In particular, observations of water masses, current velocities, chemistry, and biology were carried out in the Hakuho Maru KH-99-4, KH-00-4, KH-01-1 (leg 1), KH-02-3 cruises, and we had significant results.4. We compared between observation and numerical prediction in terms of the oceanographic condition in September to October, 2000 during which the KH-00-4 cruise was made. These results and the observation data mainly during this period were recorded in CD-ROMs, which must be useful to understand an outline of our research and think about a next step for monitoring and forecast.5. We issued Vol. 34, No. 1 (the January issue in 2002) of the Monthly Kaiyo (77 pp.) entitled "Monitoring of marine environment in marginal seas", to publish our research contents and results.6. We moved the acoustic Doppler current profiler away from the retired ferry 'Akebono' to the successor ferry to continue the monitoring of Kuroshio velocity in the Tokara Strait.
