Learning Climate Variability Analysis Tools
Flood Disaster Laboratory, Division of Planning Methodology for Environmental Disaster Mitigation, Department of Urban and Environmental Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering
Place of stay: Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), Yokohama, Japan
Term: February 8 – March 30, 2010
I had an opportunity to learn research tools and its applications to climate variability analysis and predictions at JAMSTEC, Yokohama. I worked under Dr. Swadhin K. Behera, a senior scientist and a team leader of Low-latitude Climate Prediction Research Center. He taught me how to use GrADS (Grid Analysis and Display System) tools to analyze Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR), and Zonal Wind data for climate variations studies. These techniques are very important for my research activities, and now I am able to apply all of them to my work. The 50 days at JAMESTEC felt short as there were many advanced research tools and techniques I wanted to learn. I am grateful to the HSE Program for the financial support, which enabled me to build a partnership with JAMSTEC for future research activities.
