Marine Environmental Science Lab (Associate Professor Hatsumi Nishikawa)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that makes measurements of the atmosphere and the sea to investigate the links among the atmosphere, the ocean, and marine ecosystems.
AboutAbout the lab
Measuring air and sea to uncover their links
The lab of Associate Professor Hatsumi Nishikawa studies the links among the atmosphere, the ocean, and marine ecosystems by making measurements of the air and the sea.
It investigates how the atmosphere and the ocean influence each other in the mid-latitude ocean (air-sea interaction).
Its research topics also include variability in Subtropical Mode Water, which forms in the sea south of Japan, and its effects, as well as ocean circulation and material cycling in the Southern Ocean.
Key terms
- Air-sea interaction
- The mutual exchange of influence between the atmosphere and the ocean: sea surface temperature changes winds and clouds, and those winds in turn change ocean currents and water temperature
- Subtropical Mode Water
- A thick layer of water with nearly uniform temperature and salinity, formed when the sea surface is cooled in winter and the water becomes well mixed. It spreads over areas such as the south side of the Kuroshio
- Southern Ocean
- The ocean that completely encircles Antarctica. It corresponds to the southern parts of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans
