About 30 participants met on 18 and 19 September 1997 at the Institute for
Hydrospheric-Atmospheric Sciences, Nagoya University, to report on the progress
of their research pertaining to the ADEOS Field Campaign off Sanriku, Japan.
The campaign named Sanriku Campaign for ADEOS, Looking at the Living Ocean
Processes (SCALLOP) was conducted in order to demonstrate the applicability
and usefulness of satellite observations in various aspects of oceanography.
SCALLOP's objectives are threefold: conduct intensive ship observations
coincident with overflights of ADEOS during April through June 1997, publish
the Campaign results in a Special Issue of the Journal of Oceanography, and
hold an Open-to-the-Public Symposium in March 1998.
During the intensive ship observation period, eight ships belonging to Japan
Fisheries Agency, Japan Meteorological Agency, Hokkaido University, Tokai
University, and the University of Tokyo had cruises to the campaign region.
Emphasis was placed on collecting data to validate OCTS and NSCAT data, and
measuring biological fluxes including primary productivity and particle fluxes
in shallow and deep waters.
The meeting at Nagoya University was organized by the Japan Marine Science
Foundation's Exective committee for the ADEOS Field Campaign. It was sponsored
by JAXA and supported by Oceanographic Society of Japan.
