Period of Project: 1 April 2022 - 31 December 2026
Brief description of the Project:
Through various methods such as ship observation, satellites, autonomous observation, and time series observation, the characteristics and changes in the marine environment of the Seychelles-Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR) of the Indian Ocean are investigated and understood. A SCTR seasonal prediction system is also developed.
- Observation using research vessels in the SCTR region (Physical, Biogeochemical, and pelagic ecosystem characteristics)
- Observation of changes in the marine environment using autonomous instruments
- Satellite data analysis
- Time-series observation by Mooring
- Development of SCTR seasonal prediction system
- Reproduction of past fluctuations of SCTR
Region of study:
Tropical Western Indian Ocean, Seychelles-Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR) region
