Mechanism for Climate Changes
Climate System Laboratory (CSL) explores mechanisms of the global/regional climate changes, which are caused by both anthropogenic forcing and natural variability. In particular, we focus on various climate feedbacks, which are resulted from complex interactions among climate system components, since it is a key to determine intensity and pattern of the global/regional climate changes. In addition, we pursue to...

Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction and El Niño
Ocean-atmosphere interaction plays a critical role in climate events and their changes. Climate System Laboratory (CSL) pursues to understand how ocean and atmosphere interact under various time/spatial scales and background flow, and how the interaction impacts on development, maintainance, and decay of the climate phenomena in tropics, mid-latitudes, and polar regions, with a special interest in their...

Bio-Geochemical Processes
Earth's climate system consists of vegetation, ocean biogeochemistry, and carbon cycle as well as ocean, atmosphere, land, and cryosphere, and their mutual interactions play a pivotal role in climate change. Recently, the importance of the biogeochemical processes has been recognized increasingly as it has been reported that the biogeochemical feedbacks have significant contributions to global/regional climate...

High-Impacts Climate Event
Recently, extreme weather/climate events such as heatwave, cold surge, drought, flood, typhoon, and other extreme events occur more frequently over the globe. It is a challenging question of how much climate changes contribute to the frequent occurrence of extreme events these days. Since extreme climate events have a very strong social and economic impact, it is very important to understand the underlying...

Climate Modeling and Prediction
The climate model, which virtually simulates our climate system, is a useful tool to understand and predict climate phenomena and climate changes. A hypothesis from the data analysis can be proved and supported by climate modeling. Climate System Laboratory (CSL) conducts research for improving climate models to accurately represent climate phenomena and increase climate predictability. In addition, we are...
