Application Laboratory

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).
