Abstract: Abstract Japanese and French oceanographers built close collaborations since numerous years but the arrival of the Earth Simulator (highly parallel vector supercomputer system, 5120 vector processors, 40 Teraflops of peak performance) reinforced and speeded-up this cooperation. The Achievement of this exceptional computer motivated the creation of a 4-year (2001–2005) postdoc position for a French researcher in Japan, followed by 2 new post-doc positions since 2006. This active Franco-Japanese collaboration already lead to 16 publications. In addition, the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Earth Simulator Center, the French National Scientific Research Center (CNRS) and French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (l’IFREMER) formalizes this scientific collaboration and guarantees access to the ES until the end of 2008.
