Observation density (1 °× 1 ° ) from 1900 to 2012 in WOD13 Highly Observed Regions US coast ・ Equatorial ・ EU coast ・ Japan Coast

Profile numbers from 1900 to 2012 in WOD13 1963: Serious damage to Fishery due to Abnormal Rapid Change of Japan’s at 1964 cooling around Japan.

Beginning of monitoring system by Japanse Fisheries Institutes For sound development of Fishery, we need to clarify some relationship between ocean and Fish. For the purpose, we have to maintain to observe and investigate ecology, fishing condition, and some ocean condition. Civil Servants in Ministry of Japanese monitoring routine has Agricultural and Commerce over 100year history!! in Japan about 1910

Real Time Data distribution system FRA-uploader Motivation A few years ago, in order to provide ocean forecast information to Fishers, we had a plan to develop ocean forecast system FRA-JCOPE using JPFI monitoring data with great help of JAMSTEC. However, we had no system for distribute these data in REALTIME. FRA-JCOPE from 2007 FRA-uploader from 2007 FRA: Fisheries Research Agency • JCOPE( Japan Coastal Ocean • predictability Experiment) by JAMSTEC

What is FRA-uploader ? What is FRA-uploader ? It is a windows software for distributing of FRA and JPFI monitoring data. ・ FRA ： Fisheries Research Agency in Japan ・ JPFI ： Japanese Prefectural Fisheries Institute. Who use it ? Researchers and Staffs in Japanese Prefectural Fisheries Institute and Fisheries Research Agency When use it ? After observation. Where use it ? On some PC with Internet How to use it ? Next slide.

How to use FRA-uploader !! After Prefectural fisheries researchers get off R/V, 1. Set the FRA-uploader CD-R and execute FRA-uploader. 2. Set the digital data of ＋ observation data. 3. Select CTD data files and drag it to the box of FRA-uploader. 4. Push the sending button and the data send to Ocean Forecast system and GTS via internet. Only a few steps !!

Increase of available in-situ data by FRA-uploader: Spatial distribution In-situ data in 2013 ( ● ARGO+ ● GTSPP) without Japanese ●＋●＋◆ Prefectural Research Prefectural Fisheries Institute Institute via FRA-uploader We became able to exploit Japanese in-situ data by FRA-uploader. 17

Increase of available in-situ data by FRA-uploader: Time Series Registration of Real Time GTSPP data in N.W. pacific ■： JF Prefectural inst. ■： ARGO ■： other Start of Prefectural data Input by FRA ‐ uploader !! 18

Technical issues of FRA-uploader, bother us. Change of the Instruments The reason why FRA-uploader can correctly and easily operate is that each instrumental information such as text format of SBE9 , SBE8, ・・・・ are incorporated in FRA-uploader in advance. If some institute use another instrument, FRA-uploader can not correctly operate at all. How to demonstrate QC about coastal data? In mixed water region east of Japan and coastal area, it is difficult to demonstrate QC of data because temperature and salinity in the coastal region fluctuate sharply and we can not distinguish error or not.
