Meteorological-tsunami-like (or meteotsunami-like) periodic oscillation was muographically detected with the Tokyo-Bay Seafloor Hyper-Kilometric Submarine Deep Detector (TS-HKMSDD) deployed in the underwater highway called the Trans-Tokyo Bay Expressway or Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line (TBAL). It was detected right after the arrival of the 2021 Typhoon-16 that passed through the region 400 km south of the bay. The measured oscillation period and decay time were respectively 3 h and 10 h.

- - Tidal measurements are crucial for protecting coastal communities and managing sea traffic, with traditional methods involving tide gauge stations and laser altimetry.
- - Researchers have deployed the Tokyo-bay Seafloor Hyper-Kilometric Submarine Deep Detector (TS-HKMSDD), the first under-seafloor particle detector array, to measure tidal levels via muography beneath the Tokyo Bay.
- - Analysis of 80 days of muographic data showed a 12.85 cm standard deviation from traditional astronomical tide height measurements, suggesting that extending the TS-HKMSDD could standardize muography as a reliable tidal monitoring method in busy waterways.
Article Synopsis
- The deep ocean is the largest and least understood ecosystem on Earth, hosting many light-emitting pelagic organisms.
- A unique data set collected from December 2007 to June 2010 provides the longest continuous record of deep-sea bioluminescence, revealing significant seasonal light intensity blooms linked to changes in deep water properties.
- These blooms are mainly driven by luminous bacteria and highlight the connection between deep-sea biological activity and oceanic processes; monitoring these changes is crucial as climate change affects deep-sea ecosystems.
