By the nuclear disaster of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (FDNPS), Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), caused by the East Japan earthquake and the following tsunami occurred on March 11, 2011, a large amount of radioactive materials was released from the NPS. After the nuclear disaster, airborne radiation monitoring using manned helicopter was conducted around FDNPS. In addition, background dose rate monitoring was conducted around Sendai Nuclear Power Station. These results of the aerial radiation monitoring using the manned helicopter in the fiscal 2015 were summarized in the report.

The volume transport of the Tsugaru Warm Current (TgWC) from April 2000 to June 2002, which was estimated based on the ferry-borne ADCP observation was examined in this study. The estimated transport varied from about 0.6 Sv to 2.5 Sv (=10 ms), and the mean value was estimated to be about 1.3 Sv with 0.3 Sv showing the similar level as that in the preliminary result. The temporal variation with a period of about 20-30 days seemed to be remarkable in the anterior half of this observation period rather than seasonal variation. By contrast, the seasonal variation was dominant in the posterior half in which the minimum and maximum values appear in the spring and autumn, respectively. The temporal change of the transport showed good correlation with the sea level differences around the strait as expected. In addition, the present result suggests that the change of local wind around the strait also lead in part of the change of the transport.

The northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean off the Shimokita Peninsula assumes a complex water mass structure. It is necessary to accurately reproduce the striking circulation patterns and the complicated water mass structures in this area with an ocean general circulation model. We have planned to make use of a one-way nesting method. To initialize the forecast system, we use a 4-dimensional variational method of data assimilation. The assimilated data consist of hydrographic observations collected through the Global Temperature-Salinity Profile Program, sea surface temperature and sea surface height data observed by satellites. A forecast experiment on the basis of oceanographic observations made in 2003 illustrates the good performance of our system. We shall focus, in particular, on the shift from the coastal mode to the gyre mode and vice versa.

Transport variations and characteristics of tidal currents in the Tsugaru Strait (TS) are investigated using the ship-mounted ADCP data obtained during October 29, 1999 - March 31, 2000. The Tsugaru Strait connects the North Pacific Ocean (NPO) and Japan/East Sea (JES), and is a main output for Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) in the JES. The strong northeastwards mean current was found in the center of the strait, and counter flows exist near the Hokkaido and Honshu coasts. The estimated mean net eastward transport is 1.8 Sv (1Sv=10ms). In the TS, the transports of K1 and M2 across the strait are 0.72 Sv and 0.52 Sv, respectively. From the phase analysis, it is understood the K1 is progressive wave-like while the M2 is standing wave-like. We also find a significant barotropic fortnightly oscillation. The Mf tide is more energetic along the JES coast with the amplitude of 1-3cm, while the Mf tide amplitudes in the NPO are less than 1 cm. It is inferred that observed fortnightly oscillation may be generated by the difference of Mf tide amplitude between both sides of the TS.

The variation of velocity and volume transport of the Tsugaru Warm Current (TWC) is investigated based on the data of continuous and cross-sectional current monitoring in the Tsugaru Strait. During November 1999 - March 2000, the structure of the velocity transection across the strait was almost stable in which the TWC occupied the central part of the strait, while the returning flows existed in the northern and southern part of the strait, and these indicate a totally declining trend. The volume transport of the TWC varies from 2.1 to 1.1 Sv, with the mean value of 1.5 Sv, following the variation of the TWC. The temporal variation of the volume transport shows a linear correlation with that of the sea level difference between the Japan Sea and the Pacific Ocean. The contribution of the sea level difference to the volume transport is estimated to be roughly 70 %.

Variabilities of the periodical current fluctuations on the shelf in Hidaka Bay were examined with use of ferry-mounted ADCP data obtained during 2000-2001. As the result of analysis, (1) three periodical variations around 10-, 25- and 60-day period are found, (2) the horizontal phase lag of these variations is little along the ship track, and the vertical phase lag is little at 10- and 25-day variations while several-day at 60-day variation, and (3) the 10-day variation shows coherent cross-correlation between current and wind.
