Research Area
Convergence Meteorological Research Department
- KMA/NIMS Atmospheric Research Aircraft (NARA) operation for weather and climate observation such as typhoon, severe rainfall, cloud, aeroaol, greenhouse and reactive gases, and experiment for weather modification.
- Research on mesoscale convective system and application of the data from intensive observation
- Cloud microphysics research and weather modification operations for rain ennhancement and fog dissipation.
Aviation Observation Research Team
- Research on characteristics of meteorological phenomena using aircraft observation data
- Research on development of aircraft data quality control and improvement of operation and management system
Weather Modification Research Team
- Research on development of weather modification (e.g. artificial rainfall/snowfall, fog dissipation) and theroretical, observational and numerical modeling in cloud physics
Mesoscale Meteorological Research Team
- Development of conceptual models and forecast guidance of severe weather such as heavy rainfall
- Intensive observation campaign for mesoscale convective systems (centered on forecast issues) and development of analysis technology for observational data
