Application Laboratory endeavors to realize a sustainable world through innovations and prudent interactions between science and society.

The Application Laboratory a premier research establishment in JAMSTEC aims to contribute to the society by developing numerical simulation technologies and by finding ways and means to apply ensemble model predictions for the benefit of human health, agriculture, fisheries, water management, and air and water quality. For example, Application Laboratory provides prediction information using Seasonal Climate Prediction (SINTEX-F) and Regional Ocean Prediction (JCOPE).
Building on these foundations, APL is now responsible for developing digital twins (DTs) that integrate a variety of marine-earth observations, simulation models and data driven approaches, advance the discovery and understanding of the complex interconnections within the Earth system, and generate and deliver optimized value-added information derived from DTs to society.
