Ocean Dynamics Analysis Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab goes out to sea on research vessels to uncover how waters in the marginal seas of East Asia flow and mix.
AboutAbout the lab
Observing at sea to understand flow and mixing.
The Ocean Dynamics Analysis Lab focuses on fieldwork using research vessels and moored instruments to clarify the mechanisms of seawater circulation from a dynamical perspective.
In collaboration with research institutions in Japan and abroad, the lab studies seawater circulation and mixing in the marginal seas of East Asia.
According to the lab's website (around 2014), its research also covers the effects of global warming and climate change on the marine environment of marginal seas and coastal areas, as well as the flow and mixing of seawater in inner bays and coastal areas.
The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Ocean Circulation Dynamics Lab."
Key terms
- Marginal sea
- A sea located along the edge of a continent. This lab studies the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan
- Internal wave
- A wave that occurs inside the ocean, separate from the waves visible on the sea surface
- Mooring observation
- Observation in which instruments are fixed in the sea to take measurements at the same location
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to clarify the circulation and mixing of seawater from a dynamical perspective, the lab centers its research on in situ observations using research vessels and moored instruments. The main study areas are the East China Sea, the Sea of Japan, and the Ariake Sea.
