| 1. | Kaoru Ichikawa, Ryosuke Sakemi, Jyoushiro Noda, Kei Yufu, Search and Sample Observations by UAVs, 6th ISEE Symposium, 2023.12, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can provide cloud-free wide views of the sea surface from viewpoints much higher than ships. Although the coverage area size of an UAV is narrower than those of airplanes and satellites, UAVs, especially multi-copters, have another advantage that they can approach close to the sea surface. In order to use these two advantages of UAVs, we try to start a new type of operations, i.e., “Search and Sample” observations. As a prototype, water sampler is attached to the bottom of a waterproof multi-copter (SprashDrone 3+, SwellPro Co. Ltd.) which can land on the sea surface, so that the sampler can be placed on the sea surface of a target place (e.g., thermal front, red tide area, floating marine debris) detected by visible or infrared cameras on the multi-copter, and take a sample of the surface water by remotely closing the rids of the sampler bottle. This system can be efficiently operated from the land to sample coastal areas far away from ship ports, or to sample middle of lakes. The UAV can take off from and land on a ship or sea surface near a ship, even when she is under another position-keeping operation, e.g. CTD or turbulence measurements. In addition, since several multi-copters can be operated at once, the system can take many points in a short time. Details of the prototype system will be introduced in the presentation. . |

At present, only AMSR2 and CYGNSS satellites can provide synoptic observations in areas of high winds. The CYGNSS system, comprises eight microsatellites that measure reflected GNSS signals at the sea surface, estimates wind speeds continuously (at 12 min intervals), which can provide temporally averaged field in contrast to AMSR2 snapshot wind observations. In 2021, CYGNSS has modified its wind speed retrieval algorithm (Version 3.1) to include significant wave height (SWH) correction. Since wind direction and wave propagation directions vary around a moving typhoon, SWH field becomes significantly complex and asymmetric around the typhoons. In this presentation, we investigate effects of SWH corrections on CYGNSS winds around typhoons Jebi and Trami, by comparing previous version (Version 3.0) and new version products. In general, new products accounting SWH correction show right-strengthened wind patterns around typhoon centres, which are consistent with AMSR2 winds and numerical models results (ERA5 and CFSRv2). These improvements, however, are not the same in two typhoons whose movement speeds are different; fast-moving Jebi shows more significant improvements. Dependencies on moving speeds and direction of the typhoon centre, and maximum wind speeds will be further examined with other typhoon cases. . |

In other seas, the method has successfully eliminated bright parabolic shapes in echograms, namely unexpected strong reflection from calm water surface in semi-closed bays within a footprint of an altimeter. But the method is found not properly applicable in Seas of Indonesia. Large areas of high microwave reflectors, or slicks, are intermittently but frequently present in the sea even away from coasts, but they are not accounted in the method which eliminates bright parabolas from single-point reflectors in the echograms. The method is modified to include an additional process to detect presence of slicks in the echograms, which enables to estimate the sea surface height was to estimate the sea surface height in Seas of Indonesia..  |

Unlike the other algorithms such as ALES that detect contamination in each single waveform independently, continuous waveforms along a track are used at once to detect contamination referring consistency with adjacent points. In this study, Jason-2 waveforms near Tsushima Island, Japan are processed and found closer SSH retrieval to the coast than the other algorithms. The obtained SSH is compared with surface velocity observed by the HF ocean radar data in which tidal and wind-driven current components have been removed separately. Spatial smoothing is found necessary for better comparison, which emphasises importance of closer SSH retrieval in coastal areas, especially in narrow channels where the number of altimeter data tends to be insufficient.. |

The obtained volume transport is linearly related well to the cross-strait sea level difference determined by tide gauges, and also approximately agrees with the along-track component of the wind stress without significant time lags. These suggest that the along-strait wind stress balances with the frictional force of the along-strait geostrophic current, which is proportional to the cross-strait sea level difference. Furthermore, discrepancy of the volume transport from the linear relationship with the along-strait local wind stress is compared with the SSHA field around Taiwan and Jason-2 along-track PISTACH altimetry data. Unfortunately, the SSHA filed is not reliable enough in the strait due to sparse sampling, Nevertheless, significant SSHA to the south of Taiwan, as a result of the Kuroshio variations caused by interaction with westward-propagating mesoscale eddies, are found related with such wind-independent volume transport variations with periods of several weeks.. |
| 41. | Kaoru Ichikawa, Z.Y. Li, GROWTH team, Wave field observations by GNSS Reflectometry, 8th Program of the East Asian Cooperative Experiments (PEACE), 2016.08, [URL], Reflected signals at the sea surface often cause so-called multipath error in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as GPS and GLONASS. However, they can also be used to retrieve surface wave field, i.e. the GNSS Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technique. Down-looking GNSS antennas have been deployed on observatory towers in swell-dominant Hiratsuka and swell-free Lake Biwa, as a part of a project “GNSS Reflectometry for Ocean Waves, Tides and Height (GROWTH)” funded by Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Since the footprint size is small due to the lower altitude of the antennas, instantaneous reflections represents only a part of a surface wave. Reflected intensity varies with the dominant wave periods (approximately 2-3 seconds) in Lake Biwa, indicating variations of the sea surface slope. Meanwhile, high-frequency intensity variations were observed in Hiratsuka, which were mainly caused by interferometric variations induced by changes of the path length between the sea surface and the antennas due to sea surface elevations of swells. Wave field observations by other methods, including wave gauges, GNSS wave gauge drifters, altimeters and SAR imagery are also reviewed for comparisons with GNSS-R.. |

Several algorithms have been proposed to retrieve the sea surface height (SSH) avoiding these contamination in a waveform, but such retrievals are independent for each single waveform and waveforms of the adjacent points have never been referred. In this study, along-track AltiKa 40 Hz data near Tsushima Island, Japan, are processed at once for each cycle to retrieve the coastal SSH accounting contamination in waveforms of the adjacent points. Since the reflection from a point source results in a parabolic shape in an echogram with latitude versus altimeter tracking gate, extremely strong echo values with parabolic shapes are first masked. For each tracking gate at each point, lost echo by land is roughly compensated based on the ratio of the land area in the altimeter’s footprint ring, then the Brown model is fitted to each modified waveform. The retrieved SSH shows reasonable values with no abrupt changes along tracks.. |

And then, the Tsushima Warm Current meets cold water in the lower layer in the deep basin of the Japan Sea. Previous studies have proposed some current patterns after passing through the Tsushima Straits, such as the single-meander, double-branch, and triple-branch patterns. However, the mean current paths and its variability are not yet fully understood. Long Range Ocean Radar has been measuring the sea surface current in the southwestern Japan Sea to observe the branches of the Tsushima Warm Current since May 2014. The frequency of radar is 9.2 MHz. The Long Range Ocean Radar can measure approximately 200 km range from the radar site, and its horizontal resolution is approximately 7 km along the beam. The sampling data interval is 30 minutes or 1 hour. The radar can measure the first branch of the Tsushima Warm Current along the Japanese coast and the second branch along the continental slope (about 200-m isobath). A set of five bottom mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) with temperature sensor were deployed across the Tsushima Warm Current in the radar observation area from June to July 2014. During the ADCP observation period, the bottom cold water less than 8 degree C intruded over the continental shelf. The Tsushima Warm Current intensified on the continental shelf in the vicinity of the bottom temperature front.. |

Variations in the branches and its dynamics have been investigated for a long time. However, the branching of the TWC has been debated. In order to understand the branching of the TWC, current data with high spatial and temporal resolution are needed. We use the Long Range Ocean Radar (LROR) developed by National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Japan to monitor sea surface current of the area where branch currents may exist. The frequency of the LROR is 9.2 MHz with sweep width of 22 kHz. Observational range of the Long Range Ocean Radar is approximately 200 km from Radar site, and its spatial and temporal resolutions are 7 km along the beam and 30 minutes, respectively. The LROR have been installed at northern tip of Tsushima Island and Aishima Island. Sea surface current measurement using LROR was conducted from 11 June to 8 September. We also conducted GPS buoy trajectory and mooring of current meters in the observed area of the LROR to validate accuracy of the LROR data. Correlation coefficients between radial velocities of Tsushima Radar and current velocities 10 m below the sea surface observed by ADCP were 0.34 - 0.59. The correlation coefficients were smaller than previous studies, and maximum correlation coefficients appeared at front side of the Radar. This fact implied that data processing, especially beam forming should be improved. In the presentation, we will discuss the accuracy of the LROR data and branches of the TWC for 3 months using reprocessed LROR data.. |

| 53. | Wang Xi Feng, Kaoru Ichikawa, Wave frequency estimation under low-wind conditions , Ocean Surface Topography Science Team Meeting, 2014 , 2014.10, Wave frequency has been empirically estimated from altimetry sigma_0 and SWH data by comparing with buoy wave observations. Under low-wind conditions, however, this relationship cannot be used since sigma_0, which is proportional to the inverse of the mean square slope (MSS), is more sensitive to waves with shorter wavelength (or higher frequency) that the large buoys cannot detect. In this study, the MSS for such high-frequency waves missed in buoy observations is estimated from the wind speed. The compensated MSS for the buoy observations by these estimations agrees well with the altimetry MSS. In turn, the estimated MSS for the high-frequency waves are removed from the altimetry MSS data to correctly estimate the wave frequency for longer-frequency waves such as swells.. |

The surface velocity is measured by the ocean radar system in the strait, but it includes ageostrophic wind-driven currents. The surface geostrophic velocity could be determined by spatial gradients of the sea surface dynamic height, but the satellite altimeters do not work properly in coastal areas. In this study, a new experiment to obtain the surface geostrophic velocity by the GPS system mounted on "New Camellia" is introduced. Winter (summer) decrease (increase) of the Tsushima warm current is well captured by the GPS-determined velocity as the other observations, but the variation ratio between the eastern and western Tsushima/Korea Strait Channels is found different from the ADCP velocity at the 18-m depth.. |
| 65. | Takeshi Matsuno, C.T. Liu, Kenichi Fukudome, HW Chen, K. Ichikawa, Seasonal variations of volume transport through Taiwan and Tsushima Straits and net transport across the shelf break of the East China Sea , Ocean Science Meeting 2014, 2014.02, Ocean structure and the transports of energy and various materials in the East Asian marginal seas are controlled by branch currents, roughly speaking, of the Kuroshio such as Taiwan and Tsushima Warm Currents. Particularly, in the East China Sea, the current passing through Taiwan Strait strongly affects the mass transport over the shelf region accompanied with the Kuroshio intrusion and Changjiang Diluted Water. We obtained time series of the volume transport through Taiwan Strait for longer than 4 years with ship mounted ADCP installed on a ferry boat across the strait. Comparing them with the variations through Tsushima Strait, we estimated the net transport across the shelf break. In summer, the net transport is reduced to mostly zero. The wind field provided by JRA25 suggests that the offshoreward Ekman transport across the shelf break is enhanced in the upper layer. Then, we deduced onshore transport of the Kuroshio subsurface water into the shelf region. This project was supported by MEXT/JST, ONR and Kyushu University.. |
| 66. | Y. Miyazawa, SM Varlamov, X. Guo, K. Ichikawa, T. Miyama, M2 internal tide variability modulated by ocean circulation processes south of Japan, Ocean Science Meeting 2014, 2014.02, We conduct a concurrent simulation of the ocean circulation and explicit tide using a data assimilative ocean general circulation model covering the western North Pacific with horizontal resolution of 1/36 deg. to investigate possible interactions between them. Four sites of active M2 internal tide variability in open ocean (hot spots): Tokara Strait, Izu Ridge, Bashi Strait, and Ogasawara Ridge, are detected from both the satellite observation and simulation. Energy analysis of the simulated M2 internal tide indicates two types of the hot spots: dissipation (Tokara Strait and Izu Ridge) and radiation (Bashi Strait and Ogasawara Ridge) dominant sites, depending on difference in depths with active internal tide generation. Changes in density field due to mixed layer process, Kuroshio path variation, and mesoscale eddy activity considerably modulate energy conversion from external to internal M2 tides at the hot spots and radiation of M2 internal tide energy from them, suggesting a dynamical link from shallow to deep oceans through internal tide variablity.. |

| 70. | Kaoru Ichikawa, Kenichi Fukudome, Akihiko Morimoto, Jong-Hwan Yoon, Coastal sea surface height variations as seen by GPS on a ferryboat, IAHS/IAPSO/IASPEI Joint Assembly, 2013.07, [URL], Satellite altimeters have provided valuable sea surface height (SSH) observations in open oceans, but their use is unfortunately limited in coastal regions by many technical reasons, including contaminations by lands reflections and larger complicated tides. Moreover, even if those problems were solved, the temporal sampling interval of the satellite altimeters is too coarse for smaller-scale coastal phenomena. Thus, in this study, complementary observations of the coastal SSH using Global Positioning System (GPS) are examined. Since August 2010, the SSH across the Tsushima Strait between Japan and Korea has been observed every 30 seconds using a real-time kinematic (RTK) GPS receiver mounted on a ferryboat New Camellia that serves daily round trips across the strait. The observed SSH includes high-frequency fluctuations that would be caused by wind waves. They can be smoothed out by averaging the SSH over the ship route, although the averaging periods are required to be longer than approximately eight minutes since ordinary wind waves are aliased by the 30-second sampling intervals as long-period waves. By removing tidal and geoid heights estimated by best-available local models, we determined the sea surface dynamic height (SSDH). The obtained SSDH regularly includes undulations with approximately 20km wavelength, which is equivalent to that of the internal semi-diurnal tides in this region. The larger-scale SSDH variations are well agreed with the dynamic heights calculated from the de-tided velocity observed at the 18m depth by the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on the same ferryboat. Those comparisons are further used for the improvement of the local tidal and geoid models. . |
| 71. | Akira Nagano, Kaoru Ichikawa, Hiroshi Ichikawa, Masanori Konda, K. Murakami, Volume transport toward the Kuroshio Extension region, a "hot spot" area in the North Pacific , IAHS/IAPSO/IASPEI Joint Assembly, 2013.07, [URL], The western boundary current of the North Pacific subtropical gyre, the so-called Kuroshio, is considered to play a critical role in the global climate system due to the huge northward heat transport. In particular, the transport toward the active heat releasing Kuroshio Extension region, called ""hot spot"" area in the North Pacific, is important. However, significant disturbances in the entire North Pacific such as mesoscale eddy and recirculations have made the estimation of the transport difficult. Therefore, we carried out a one-year inverted echo sounder observation of the recirculation transport in the Shikoku Basin by the zonal observation line at 30°N to the Izu-Ogasawara Ridge that is a natural eastern boundary of the recirculation gyre, and extended the duration of the time series by satellite altimeter data. By removing the Shikoku Basin local recirculation transport, we estimated the volume transport in the top 1000-m layer toward the hot spot area. Most of the transport variations toward the hot spot area correspond to those of the Kuroshio transport on the continental slope south of Japan, which vary independently from those of the local recirculation gyre. Also, the volume transport toward the hot spot area was found to vary on shorter timescales than a decadal one, being affected from the transport variation of the western North Pacific regional recirculation gyre that would include the northeastward flow of the Ryukyu Current System in the Philippine Sea. . |
