Welcome to my homepage! So far, this homepage gives you the information on my recent major articles only. As listed below, the articles are classified into two categories: i.e., monsoon dynamics and tropical meteorology, and climate system and its variability. Abstracts are prepared for some of the papers. If you are interested in an article, please click its title. If you have any questions on my research, please feel free to email me (click the button at the bottom of the list). Thank you for your interest in my work.
