Study of the Ocean and the Earth Dynamics by International TOPEX/POSEIDON Program

本方案的期限为1993年至1995年。在此期间，分别向中国、法国、英国和美国派遣了17名调查人员。1993年8月，Segawa和Nakagawa访问了北京，出席了IAG大会的Topex-Poseidon会议。11月，在法国图卢兹举行了一个名为“Topex-Poseidon发射一年后”的研讨会，Imawaki， Ooe和柴田参加了该研讨会。1994年6月，Segawa访问了巴黎的法国空间研究中心，讨论Topex-Poseidon的数据格式。8月，Toh访问了英国剑桥大学和法国布雷斯特大学，参加了关于海平面变化与地磁变化的研讨会。12月，今木、川村和福田出席了在旧金山举行的以AGU大会为背景的Topex-Poseidon研讨会。1995年7月，Segawa和Tamura访问了美国博尔德，参加了IUGG会议。10月5日，Imawaki、Ooe、Kubota、Ichikawa、Matsumoto一行前往法国比亚里茨参加Topex-Poseidon的SWT会议。在本研究期间，有6位外国研究人员应邀访问日本。1993年，两位澳大利亚人怀特和海森来到东京大学海洋研究所的R/V Tansei-Maru船上进行合作研究。1994年，一位法国人（加斯帕）和一位澳大利亚人（科尔曼）被邀请到日本。通过对近3年Topex-Poseidon数据的广泛分析，我们可以得到黑潮的新模型，日本岛屿周围的大地水准面或更精确的世界海潮。与国外研究人员的交流对这些研究非常有用。

This program is for the period from 1993 through 1995. In this period 17 investigators were dispatched to China, France, England and the United States, respectively.In August 1993 Segawa and Nakagawa visited Beijing to attend the Topex-Poseidon Session in the General Meeting of IAG.In November there was a symposium named '1 year after the launch of Topex-Poseidon' in Toulouse, France, which Imawaki, Ooe and Shibata attended. In June 1994 Segawa visited the France Space Research Center in Paris to discuss about the data format of Topex-Poseidon. In August Toh visited Cambridge University of England and Brest University of France to attend the seminer on the sea level changes versus geomagnetic variations. In December Imawaki, Kawamura and Fukuda attended the Topex-Poseidon Symposium held in the case of AGU general meeting in San Francisco. In July 1995 Segawa and Tamura visited Boulder, USA to attend the IUGG meeting. In October 5 investigators, i.e., Imawaki, Ooe, Kubota, Ichikawa and Matsumoto visited Biaritz, France to attend the SWT meeting of Topex-Poseidon.In the course of the period of the present research 6 foreign researchers were invited to Japan. In 1993 two Australians White and Heinson came to make co-operative research on board R/V Tansei-Maru of the Ocean Research Institute, the University of Tokyo. In 1994 one French (Gaspar) and one Australian (Coleman) were invited to Japan.Through the extensive analysis of Topex-Poseidon data carried out for the last 3 years we could get new models of Kuroshio Current, Geoid around the Japanese Islands or more precise oceanic tide of the world. The communication with foreign researchers were very useful for these studies.
