Professor Emeritus Professor Yamagata has been engaged in climate change research from a wide range of perspectives, including elucidation of the mechanisms that cause and maintain climate change phenomena inherent in the atmosphere-ocean system, research on improving the predictability and accuracy of climate change phenomena based on this understanding, and research on the application of prediction results to socioeconomic activities.
