Behera Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that studies and predicts climate variability such as El Niño using observational data and models.
AboutAbout the lab
To deliver better climate information
The Behera Lab conducts research on climate prediction and on how to put those predictions to use.
Many regions of Japan and Asia are affected by climate modes such as El Niño and the Indian Ocean Dipole.
Using observational data and coupled atmosphere-ocean models, the lab studies climate variability on timescales from several months to several decades.
Another aim of the research is to understand the effects of climate variability on society and on specific ocean regions.
Key terms
- El Niño
- A phenomenon in which sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific stay higher than normal. It affects weather around the world.
- Indian Ocean Dipole
- A phenomenon in which sea surface temperatures in the eastern and western Indian Ocean differ from normal in opposite directions, one higher and the other lower.
- Coupled atmosphere-ocean model
- A computer model that simultaneously calculates the motions of the atmosphere and the ocean, including their effects on each other. It is used to reproduce and predict climate.
ResearchResearch themes
To provide better climate information, the lab studies climate prediction and its applications. It investigates climate variability on timescales from several months to several decades using observational data and coupled atmosphere-ocean models.
