Tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean is a key area affecting the climate of the East Asia and the oceanic circulation and ecosystem of the marginal seas of China. The National Basic Research Program project "Response of the Ocean to Global Warming and their impact on East Asia Climate and China Marginal Sea Carbon Storage" (ROME in abbreviation), aims at disclosing the dynamic and thermodynamic responses of the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean to global warming, their effects on the East Asian climate through the ocean-atmosphere coupling, and their impact on the variability of carbon storage in the marginal seas of China. Four subjects of research will be conducted for the purposes mentioned above: 1) Processes and mechanisms of the response of tropical Indo-Pacific to global warming; 2) Impact of tropical Indo-Pacific warming on east Asian monsoon; 3) Impact of tropical Indo-Pacific warming on the climatology of the western Pacific Typhoon; 4) Variability of carbon storage in the marginal seas of China forced by the monsoon, Typhoon, and the Kuroshio.
