CLIMATE DYNAMICS

From the Arctic to the midlatitudes — the connected dynamics of climate.

Project Associate Professor, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), The University of Tokyo.
I study the mechanisms of the atmospheric circulation variability behind extreme weather from the perspective of climate dynamics.

ARCTIC-MIDLATITUDE LINKAGE
Impacts of Arctic amplification on the midlatitudes

How rapid Arctic warming and sea-ice loss affect midlatitude weather and climate, and the mechanisms behind these linkages.

ATMOSPHERE-OCEAN-SEA ICE COUPLING
Winter teleconnection patterns and atmosphere–ocean–sea ice coupling

The role of extratropical atmosphere–ocean–sea ice interaction in the formation and maintenance of teleconnection patterns.

DETECTION & ATTRIBUTION
Quantifying the contribution of global warming to climate change

Detecting changes in weather and climate and attributing them to their causes, to clarify the reality of climate change.
