Currents viewer has been updated. Forecast current maps are displayed on this home page. In addition, Estimated SST data from JCOPE-T DA product has been added to the background map. During maintenance on our radar systems, estimated velocity data from JCOPE-T DA product is displayed instead of radar observation data.

The display of surface current maps and the preliminary forecast will be suspended for a little over half a year from December 8, 2023 due to maintenance work on our radar systems. Buoy observations such as SST will continue to be available.

We have released the preliminary forecast surface current maps up to 24 hours ahead. We have also posted the quasi real time seawater temperature observed by a mooring buoy off the north coast of Higashidori, Aomori.
