Participation of Polar Expeditions by Group members (Currently available only in English).
The 61st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE61), Japanese icebreaker Shirase (AGB-5003), 2019/12-2020/3
Yoshihiro Nakayama led a Japanese team to design four moorings, prepare instruments, and deploy them at the Totten ice shelf front. He also led an international collaborative team (e.g., Jamin Greenbaum (Scripps Institution of oceanography)) to conduct helicopter-based oceanographic observations. He also plays a central role in planning ship tracks and CTD/XCTD stations. He also sampled water to measure Helium and Neon measurements for detecting glacial meltwater in collaboration with Oliver Huhn (University of Bremen).
Movie by Asashi Shinnbun Company (one of the Japanese major new paper company). The movie of helicopter-based AXCTD observation can be found from 00:14 to 00:38.
GOSHIP observations (Indian and Southern Oceans) , Research Vessel MIRAI, 2019/12/29-2020/2/10
Shuntaro Hyogo (doctoral student) participated in GO-SHIP observations in the Indian and Southern Oceans. He was in charge of assisting in the processing and analysis of seawater samples collected by the CTD.
KH19-1 (Indian Sector of the Southern Ocean), Research Vessel HAKUHO MARU, 2019/2-2019/3
Yoshihiro Nakayama was part of a Japanese team to design four moorings, prepare instruments, and deploy them off the Cape Darnley. These mooring observations were designed to capture the descent of Antarctic Bottom Water originating from the Cape Darnley polynya. He also supported Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD), and LADCP measurements and dissolved oxygen measurements.
ANT XXIX-3 (Northwestern Weddell Sea), RV Polarstern, 2013/1-2013/3
Yoshihiro Nakayama participated in German Antarctic Expedition to the Northwestern Weddell Sea. He was part of the oceanography team and the team conducted over 110 CTD measurements.
