A warm and humid climate has been sustained by the influence of the Kuroshio Current and the Asian monsoon. Additionally, phenomena such as El Niño and the Indian Ocean Dipole Mode influence the climate across the broader Asian region through atmospheric Rossby waves. Scientists have taken a leading role in developing advanced computing environments, such as Earth simulators, and in establishing observation networks like TAO/TRITON and the Argo buoy systems. Satellite observations are also critical for disaster prevention and fisheries management, with scientific collaboration at the forefront. These technological advancements hold great promise for enhancing environmental and disaster prevention efforts in Southeast Asia. We are planning to organize a research workshop on ocean-atmosphere circulations in the Indian and Pacific Ocean regions to advance climate and atmospheric-hydrosphere research.
