We work on further sophistication of the simulation models that have been developing at JAMSTEC to better project the environment on various temporal and spatial scale. We promote collaborations among different models taking the best of them, in order to obtain novel insights on phenomena ranging from short-term events such as torrential rain and typhoon, medium-term ones such as El Nino, and long-term ones such as global warming, including interactions among them.
