Our lead-author review paper has been published in Current Pollution Reports.
This article provides a comprehensive review of aerosol–cloud interactions, cloud feedbacks and climate sensitivity, and Earth’s radiative imbalance, with a particular focus on their interconnections, which have often been discussed separately in previous studies.
From August 4 to 8, we hosted two high school students through the Kyushu University QURIES internship program. They conducted data analysis on global warming using Python programming.
Dr. Cai and Mr. Matsuba (M1) took the lead in teaching programming, Mr. Nakanishi (M1) explained the AMeDAS meteorological observations, and Mr. Kawabata (M1) provided guidance on presentation skills.
A co-authored paper has been published in the Journal of Climate. In this study, we developed a new method to quantify the magnitude of cloud feedbacks under assumptions consistent with satellite observations.
Attended the 121st MEXT Lunch Meeting and presented our recent research findings.
Gave a public lecture at the 107th Science Café @ Fukuoka. [Event report]

We have started the new academic year with the addition of Researcher Cai, new M1 students Kawabata, Nakanishi, and Matsuba.[Members]
Bachelor's degrees in Science were awarded to senior students Aoi Kawabata and Minori Matsuba.
Delivered a special lecture at the Kyushu Branch Meeting of the Meteorological Society of Japan.
A co-authored paper has been published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The study proposes a new method to quantify the climate impact of aerosol–cloud interactions, based on assumptions consistent with satellite observations.
Fourth-year undergraduate students Aoi Kawabata and Minori Matsuba presented their research at the undergraduate thesis symposium.
Second-year master’s students Ayumi Deguchi and Kazuto Yoshimura presented their research at the master's thesis symposium.
At the 1st 2024 Regional Meeting (Chugoku area) of the Meteorological Society of Japan, fourth-year undergraduate student Aoi Kawabata gave a research presentation.
We have opened a call for a research staff position. Deadline: 26 Dec 2024. [Details]
At the 2024 Autumn Meeting of the Meteorological Society of Japan (Tsukuba, Ibaraki), Michibata, second-year master’s students Deguchi and Yoshimura, and lab alumnus Nakanishi presented their research.
Our research was featured in the September issue of JST News, the public relations magazine of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST).
Our lab launched at the Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University, under the Climate Modeling Division.
