The lab studies a wide range of atmospheric phenomena, from climate change to urban climate.
AboutAbout the lab
Atmospheric phenomena, from local circulations to climate change.
The Atmospheric Science Lab studies a wide range of atmospheric phenomena, from the local circulations and weather forecasting techniques dealt with in meteorology to climate change and global warming.
It is one of the six fields in the Earth Environmental Science major, in which students investigate the global environment through fieldwork such as meteorological observation, analysis of observational data, and numerical simulation.
The faculty's research covers climate change including global warming and extreme weather, as well as urban climate, paleoclimatology, the carbon cycle, and the atmospheric boundary layer.
Graduation research topics have included the influence of the Tibetan Plateau on precipitation around Japan during the rainy season, short-duration heavy rainfall in Tokyo's 23 wards, and cap clouds over Mt. Fuji.
Key terms
- urban heat island
- A phenomenon in which temperatures in a city are higher than in the surrounding areas. In this lab, it is one of the research themes in urban climate
- paleoclimatology
- The study of how the climate has changed in the past
- atmospheric boundary layer
- The layer of the atmosphere close to the ground that is directly affected by the Earth's surface
ResearchResearch themes
The Atmospheric Science Lab studies a wide range of atmospheric phenomena, from the local circulations and weather forecasting techniques dealt with in meteorology to climate change and global warming. In the Earth Environmental Science major, students conduct fieldwork such as meteorological observation and analyze observational data, and also use numerical simulation to clarify the characteristics of these phenomena.
