Abstract

<p>Progress in oceanographic research in the past decade is reviewed and future direction in the Japanese oceanographic research in the next decade is discussed, mainly from the chemial oceanographic perspective. While biogeochemical cycle (or material cycle) remains to be a major theme in oceanography, innovative chemical sensors on various maneuverable platforms will be able to depict dynamics of chemical constituents with very fine resolution, equivalent of those utilized in physical oceanography; a high-definition or "high-vision" image of material cycle will be available to researchers in near future. On the other hand, process studies that unveil the mechanisms behind such dynamics should be implemented concurrently. Numerical modeling may effectively connect these two approaches, and interactions with technological innovations will facilitate progress of research. Current status and expectations of sensor/platform development, possible targets of the process studies, integration of the two research approaches, and some target oceanic regions for the integrated study are discussed, with respect to necessary infrastructures of research.</p>
