Yoshida Lab (Division 11, Social Implementation)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates the mechanisms of lightning and linear rainbands using its own observation instruments.
AboutAbout the lab
Approaching lightning and heavy rain with original instruments.
Project Professor Yoshida's lab studies weather phenomena that cause major damage to society, such as lightning discharge and linear rainbands.
The lab develops its own instruments applying remote sensing technologies such as electromagnetic wave observation, and bases its research on observations made with those instruments.
Project Professor Yoshida joined the Center for Environmental Remote Sensing in July 2026.
The professor says the lab will pursue research that clarifies the mechanisms of lightning discharge and linear rainbands through instrument development and observation, as well as research on the use of observational data and its social implementation.
Key terms
- Linear Rainband
- A phenomenon in which developed rain clouds form one after another and line up in a band, bringing heavy rain to the same area for several hours
- Remote Sensing
- A technology that uses electromagnetic waves and other means to measure the condition of a target from a distance, without touching it
- Social Implementation
- Turning technologies and knowledge gained from research into forms that are actually used in society
ResearchResearch themes
The lab specializes in weather phenomena that cause major damage to society, such as lightning discharge and linear rainbands.
