Abstract
The global ocean circulation model developed by CRIEPI was applied to the regional ocean around Japan. On the bases of the global warming computation by NCAR/CSM-1 (Climate System Model), the change of SST (Sea Surface Temperature) and Kuroshio around Japan was calculated in detail by using the regional ocean model. The effect of the global warming was summarized as follows; 1) The surface ocean circulation will be enhanced, especially, Kuroshio in the Pacific and Tsushima current in Japan Sea will become stronger, 2) SST will rise around Japan, especially in the east off Hokkaido, 3) The dynamic sea surface height will rise around Japan. The sea surface rise in the Kuroshio is remarkable in the Pacific side of western Japan.
