    •  Aquarius sea surface salinity data with a high spatial resolution has revealed interesting phenomena, one after another.

      Examples: equatorial instability waves (Lee et al., 2012)，and freshwater runoff of continental rivers(Gierach et al., 2013)

    •   I focused on mesoscale ocean vortices with a size of several hundred kilometers for the analysis.








      I succeeded in capturing how the vortex stirs low-chloride seawater due to precipitation.
