Professor Cheng-Ku Yu leads the Mesoscale and Orographic Precipitation Laboratory. Primary research directions of the laboratory include the mechanisms of orographic precipitation, midlatitude and tropical mesoscale convective systems, local circulations and precipitation, severe weather systems and mesoscale phenomena. Current research topics particularly focus on the investigation of the physical processes of orographic precipitation in the tropical cyclone environment, as well as the formation and development of tropical cyclone rainbands and coastal convection, using Doppler radar and various available observations.
