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 cooling around Japan.

Rapid Change of Japan’s at 1964

For sound development of Fishery, we need to clarify some relationship between

• cean and Fish. For the

purpose, we have to maintain to observe and investigate ecology, fishing condition, and some ocean condition.

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

predictability Experiment) by JAMSTEC

FRA-uploader from 2007

What is FRA-uploader ?

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

・FRA：Fisheries Research Agency in Japan ・JPFI ：Japanese Prefectural Fisheries Institute.

＋

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
• bservation 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 We became able to exploit Japanese in-situ data by FRA-uploader.

Increase of available in-situ data by FRA-uploader: Time Series

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.
