Clouds are a familiar part of our daily lives, yet they also play a critical role in understanding climate change. By effectively combining the strengths of numerical models and satellite observations, we aim to improve the accuracy of climate change predictions.
Research Overview Press ReleasesThe Arctic is the region most affected by global warming on Earth. Our research aims to uncover, at the mechanistic level, how clouds contribute to the interactions among the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice in this rapidly changing environment.
Research Overview Press ReleasesAtmospheric aerosols influence the properties of clouds and precipitation by acting as cloud condensation nuclei. Our research seeks to quantitatively understand the interactions among aerosols, clouds, and precipitation—one of the largest sources of uncertainty in climate change projections.
Research Overview Press ReleasesThe Michibata Laboratory is a new research group launched in April 2021. We are looking for motivated students and research assistants who are eager to pursue cloud physics and climate change research.
