Parallel Worlds Could Exist in Ocean Circulations
- Ensemble experiments analyze interannual variability of the Kuroshio
Extension -
A research team led by Dr. Masami Nonaka at Application Laboratory, the
Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and Dr.
Hisashi Nakamura, Professor at RCAST, evaluated ocean interannual
variability with ensemble experiments using the JAMSTEC's supercomputer,
the Earth Simulator. The results showed existence of unpredictable
intrinsic variability and potentially predictable wind-driven variability,
both of which are contributing to the interannual variability in the
mid-latitude ocean currents, including the Kuroshio and its eastward
extension, Kuroshio Extension (KE) jet speed.
The results of this research were published on Scientific Reports.
