| Research Abstract |
Using a global high-resolution atmospheric model, we have clarified multi-scale dynamics from global atmospheric circulation to cloud-system organization, which are responsible for the formations of tropical cyclones including typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones. We have also examined the influence of environmental field on the various types of cyclones including tropical cyclones, extra-tropical cyclones, and meso-scale cyclones using a global high-resolution model and other approaches. These results also help us understand the tendency in the cyclone activity under climate changes.
