The main objective is to utilize these scientific findings to improve the numerical model forecasts and ocean resources. The spatial scales of the dynamics we are interested in range from fine-scale turbulence (several meters), coastal flows (hundred meters), sub-mesoscale and mesoscale eddies (tens to hundreds kilometers), typhoon-ocean interaction, Kuroshio and large ocean circulation (&gt;1000 kilometers). We also collaborate with domestic and foreign researchers closely to enhance the progresses in the field experiments of air-sea interaction. Besides the traditional methods, we are aimed at improving the instruments based on the acoustic signals, satellite real-time communication for the in-situ data, autonomous underwater vehicles, and three-dimensional operational models for the air-sea interaction and weather forecast.<\/p><p>The topics include<\/p><ol><li>Effect of ocean currents near the coastlines, estuary and continental shelf on environmental change<\/li><li>Interaction between the upper ocean and typhoons<\/li><li>Features of Kuroshio and its roles in the long-term ocean change<\/li><li>Interaction between Kuroshio and mesoscale eddies<\/li><li>Acoustic techniques in the underwater communication and tomography<\/li><li>Measurements of fine-scale turbulence that can improve the parameterization of turbulent mixing<\/li><li>Impacts of air-sea interaction on the climate change<\/li><li>Investigation on the ocean renewable energy<\/li><li>Autonomous underwater measurement techniques<\/li><li>Observations taken by autonomous underwater vehicles<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dafa1bf elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"dafa1bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"about_chem\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-719c91d elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"719c91d\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ff80a11\" data-id=\"ff80a11\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d38e7a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9d38e7a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19433e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19433e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s5\">The Chemical Oceanography division is devoted to marine biogeochemistry and environmental pollution studies.

research in various fields of marine biological sciences. These include marine biodiversity, ecosystem functions, marine ecology, the evolution of marine organisms, biological oceanography, and fisheries science and management. Our faculty members have expertise in areas ranging from the bottom of the marine food web (producers) to the top predatory species. Our research spans the coastal, open ocean, and deep-sea environments, and we use both theoretical and empirical approaches.
