Abstract

Understanding the mechanisms of variation of tropical and coastal ocean upwelling phenomena is crucial for not only physical oceanographic but also fishery and climate studies. In particular, the interaction between subsurface ocean upwelling and climate modes needs to be well understood from the viewpoint of climate prediction and its societal application. In this paper, I summarize three research topics for the 2017 Okada Prize: 1) tropical Atlantic climate modes and their link with upwelling domes, 2) predictability of Coastal Niño/Niña, and 3) prediction of the Indian Ocean Dipole.
