Research Activities
Two-day Seminar at Meteorological Research Institute (October 25-26)
We invited eight trainees to give a lecture on the tropical cyclone-ocean interactions for two days (total of 10 hours). We also presented recent topics on Typhoons LAN and SAOLA.

Research on Mechanism Elucidation of Typhoons and Severe Weather Phenomena and Development of Monitoring and Forecasting Technologies
The aim of this research project is to develop high-level monitoring and prediction system for typhoons and to understand the mechanism of changes in TC structure and intensity by using state-of-the-art observations, analyzed products, and simulation results conducted by sophisticated numerical models.
