[O07-01] Nobel Prize Lecture by Dr. Syukuro Manabe (with Japanese subtitles) with discussion on climate modeling and climate science

*Ayako Abe-Ouchi1, Seita Emori2, Hisashi Nakamura3, Yasuhiro Yamanaka4 (1.Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo, 2.National Institute for Environmental Studies, 3.Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Tokyo, 4.Faculty of Environmental Earth Science, Hokkaido University)

Dr. Syukuro Manabe, a winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics, first provides the recorded Nobel lecture with Japanese subtitles by courtesy of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Dr. Manabe has been the world leader in
basic research on climate science through developing climate models at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory since the 1960s. He also visited Japan frequently in the 1980s and 1990s to support the launch of climate model development in Japan, as well as the establishment of the Frontier Research System for Global Change in 1997.
In this session, along with Dr. Manabe's lecture, we will introduce his research and its significance, the development of his group in Japan since then, and the role and results of climate models in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) through discussion by H. Nakamura, Y. Yamanaka, S. Emori and A. Abe-Ouchi.
