The lab investigates the urban thermal environment using mesoscale meteorological models and field observations.

AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about a sustainable society through the urban thermal environment
Assistant Professor Yoichi Kawamoto studies urban climate, mainly from the perspective of the thermal environment.
People are influenced by their surroundings and also influence them, so the two act on each other.
The lab works toward forming a sustainable society that aims for comfortable living environments while reducing the burden on the natural environment.
Its research themes are simulation of urban climate using mesoscale meteorological models, and elucidation of the mechanisms of urban climate through field observations.
Key terms
- Mesoscale meteorological model
- A model that numerically calculates the state of the atmosphere to predict weather, used to study the thermal and wind environments of cities
ResearchResearch themes
The lab conducts research mainly from the perspective of the thermal environment, in order to form a sustainable society that aims for comfortable living environments while reducing the burden on the natural environment. It investigates urban climate using two methods: simulation with mesoscale meteorological models, and field observations.
