We conducted predictions of the ocean currents during 3 cruises of the Deep-Sea Scientific Drilling Vessel CHIKYU in 2016. In this presentation, we discuss the ocean situations during the cruises, potentials of the CHIKYU as an observation platform, and the current skills and future developments of the ocean current predictions.
