MOVE/MRI.COM system • MRI MOVE/MRI.COM (Multivariate Ocean Variational Estimation) system uses three dimensional Variational (3D-VAR) method with vertical coupled T-S Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) modal decomposition with area partition. • Obs. Data: Sat-Alt, SST, in situ T & S (e.g., ship, ARGO, Tao/Triton) • Aims • Opt. Init. Cond. for Forecasting (Seasonal-Interannual (ElNino), Ocean state around Japan) • Reanalysis: • Western North Pacific : 1992-2006+ • (1985-2007+) • North Pacific : 1960-2006+ • Global : 1949-2006+

Mean sea surface height is also shown (contour line : c.i. is 10 cm). OK-line • The volume transport in the East China Sea is 25 Sv at PN line and its variation is small. • Ryukyu Current System has a transport from 6 Sv east of Taiwan to 17 Sv east of Amami, and increase of the transport is probably supplied by the Kuroshio recirculation flow (see around OK line). • The eastward transport at the Kuroshio-Oyashio transition area east of Japan has 41 Sv (32º-36ºN) and 12 Sv (36º-39ºN). • Oyashio has 14 Sv southward in the nearshore and 11 Sv northward transport crossing OICE line, and seasonal variation shows maximum in winter.
