The lab tracks how the ocean affects weather and climate through observations and models.
AboutAbout the lab
Investigating how the ocean affects weather and climate
The Tanimoto Lab mainly studies air–sea interaction, a field spanning meteorology and physical oceanography.
Its methods include meteorological observations over the ocean, analysis of satellite and ship observation data, numerical simulations with atmospheric models, and analysis of climate models.
From these various angles, the lab investigates how the ocean affects weather and climate.
In the course, students learn meteorology, oceanography, and fluid dynamics from the basics in the first half of the master's program, so students can start even without having studied earth science as undergraduates.
Key terms
- Air–Sea Interaction
- The atmosphere and the ocean are in contact at the sea surface and influence each other.
- Climate Model
- A model that represents the physical laws of the atmosphere and ocean inside a computer, used to study the state of the climate
