Introduction

ATMOSPHERIC ENVIRONMENT MODELING SECTION is in Research Institute for Applied Mechanics, Kyushu University and Department of Earth System Science & Technology, Interdisciplinary graduate school of engineering Sciences, Kyushu University. We focus on dynamics of atmospheric environment, transport process of air pollutants. Our research fields cover...

  • Study on atmospheric environment in East Asia with numerical simulation
  • Observational studies of atmopheric aerosols and chemical gases with space- and ground-based measurements
  • Integration studies of observations and numerical model through data assimilation
