Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research developed a method for estimating model parameters of a hydrodynamic-water quality model while improving the model performance of hypoxia, which is a major environmental problem in lakes and coastal seas where weather and material cycles have been changing in recent years, using a latest data assimilation that improves numerical calculation results using observed data. This method improves not only the model performance but also the model itself. For lakes, simulation of flow and water quality was improved together with an atmospheric model. By conducting field surveys in parallel, prediction of the hypoxia dynamics in the future under climate change was conducted.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

下水道整備が進むなど,水域外からの栄養塩流入が減少し,水質全体としては改善が進む一方で,生物の生息域を物理的に奪う貧酸素水塊は2000年以降も大きく改善されていない.本研究は貧酸素水塊に対し,必要な現地調査を実施しつつ,一方で数値モデルによる高度な解析を実施したことで,その形成や消滅過程についてより高精度に解析した点で新しい.また,純粋に学術面としても,台風の予測など,予測精度の向上に使われることの多いデータ同化を,水質モデルの改良に貢献する技術として構築した点が非常に有用である.
