Physical Oceanography Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A physical oceanography lab that studies currents in marginal seas and the open ocean.
AboutAbout the lab
Solving the mysteries of natural phenomena together.
Associate Professor Shinichiro Kida specializes in physical oceanography and climate dynamics, studying ocean circulation in marginal seas and the open ocean.
The lab works on strait exchange and deep gravity currents, focusing on the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, and the Indonesian Archipelago seas.
It also studies the dynamical processes between rivers and the ocean, and develops coupled ocean-river models.
In the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation, Associate Professor Kida teaches "Atmospheric and Ocean Science" as part of Research Projects (Earth and Environment field).
Key terms
- Marginal sea
- A sea located at the edge of a continent and separated from the open ocean by islands or peninsulas. The Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk are examples.
- Strait exchange
- The flow of seawater in and out between the seas on either side of a strait, through that strait.
- Deep gravity current
- A current in which seawater that is denser than its surroundings flows down through the deep ocean.
ResearchResearch themes
Centered on the dynamics of marginal seas and the open ocean, the lab investigates strait exchange and deep gravity currents. It also studies the dynamical processes between rivers and the ocean, and develops coupled ocean-river models.
