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

1. 为实现日本海、东海、黄海、黑潮地区的监测预报，我们协调了重点海域科学研究计划中的8个研究组，并推动了它们的合作。在此基础上建立了边缘海和黑潮监测预报系统的形象。 2．我们每年11月份都会召开项目座谈会和指导小组会议，了解我们的研究进展，讨论如何推进我们的项目。每年3月份印发进度报告，内容包括当年的研究内容和成果、下一年的研究计划、研讨会的发言提纲等。 3．我们计划了与我们的项目相关的研究巡航，并考虑了各团体之间在巡航中的合作。特别是在白凤丸KH-99-4、KH-00-4、KH-01-1（航段1）、KH-02-3等航次中开展了水团、流速、化学和生物观测，取得了显着成果。 4．我们对2000年9月至10月KH-00-4巡航期间的海洋状况进行了观测与数值预测的比较。这些结果和主要这一时期的观测数据被记录在光盘中，这对于了解我们的研究概要和思考下一步的监测和预报是很有用的。5．我们发行了卷。 34、《海洋月刊》第1期（2002年1月号）（77页）题为“边缘海海洋环境监测”，发表我们的研究内容和结果。 6．我们将声学多普勒电流剖面仪从退役渡轮“曙”移至后继渡轮，以继续监测吐噶喇海峡的黑潮速度。

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.
