ATMOSPHERIC informatics & modeling lab
Welcome to AIM Lab
The Atmospheric Informatics and Modeling Laboratory, or AIM Lab, operates under the affiliation of the Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), University of Tsukuba, Japan. AIM Lab's primary mission is to explore the “next paradigm” of atmospheric science by integrating the latest advancements in data science, such as artificial intelligence, data mining, and numerical modeling techniques, to advance the explainability and predictability of the atmospheric system, with a focus on extreme weather and climate events that happen at regional or city scales, particular under the context of global climate change.
AIM Lab is the host or member of several international research initiatives sponsored by the World Climate Research Program (World Meteorological Organization), including My Climate Risk, CORDEX Flagship Pilots Studies, CORDEX SEA.
Research topics
