Midlatitude atmospheric dynamics is one of the key research fields in atmospheric science and meteorology. Our lab is particularly interested in occurrences of extreme weather events driven by regional atmospheric circulation such as atmospheric teleconnection, atmospheric blocking, and extratropical storm tracks.
💡Some of the research questions we attempt to address are as follows:
How important moist dynamics is for the occurrence and maintenance of atmospheric blocking?
What role do warming trends in western boundary currents play in regulating downstream storm tracks?
Which region is expected to newly experience intense heatwaves driven by changes in atmospheric circulation under future emissions scenario?
An example of recent study: North Pacific stationary-transient wave interference
