Outline of Education and Research |
We, in cooperation with National Institute for Environmental Studies, carry out research on global atmospheric environment, such as global warming, ozone depletion, and air pollution. For that purpose, we develop measurement techniques on atmospheric composition changes. We conduct research and education on measurement principles, data processing algorithm, field experiments, and data analysis on the basis of specific cases of remote sensing and in-situ technologies. We also develop their applications for atmospheric compositions/clouds/aerosols, utilizing such instruments as satellite-borne, air-borne, and ship-borne sensors, and remote sensors such as FTIR (Fourier Transform InfraRed spectrometer). We conduct field measurements at the Antarctica, the Arctic, and at Siberia, and study global atmospheric environment change by analyzing these data. |
