| Cloud and Aerosol Research Laboratory Professor Jen-Ping Chen 陳正平 Ph.D. Pennsylvania State University, 1992 +886-2-33663912 / +886-2-23633317 |
Cloud and Aerosol Research Laboratory specializes in theoretical and modeling studies of cloud and aerosol microphysics, with particular emphasis on aerosol-cloud-climate interactions, new particle formation, and air pollution processes, using detailed microphysical schemes integrated into regional and global climate frameworks. |
| Typhoon Dynamics Research Center Professor Chun-Chieh Wu 吳俊傑 Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1993. +886-2-33663913 / +886-2-23632303 |
TDRC warmly welcomes you to join our scientific exploration of typhoon dynamics. |

| Mesoscale and Orographic Precipitation Laboratory Professor Cheng-Ku Yu 游政谷 Ph.D. National Taiwan University, 1995. +886-2-33663902 |
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. |
| Convection and Precipitation Laboratory Professor Ming-Jen Yang 楊明仁 Ph.D. University of Washington, 1995. +886-2-33663900 |
Convection and Precipitation Laboratory is directed by Prof. Ming-Jen Yang. The research topics of this laboratory include severe weather phenomena which produced deep convection and heavy rainfall, including typhoon, squall line, mesoscale convective system, and afternoon thunderstorm. |
| Laboratory of Instrumentation and Measurement (COOK Team) Professor Po-Hsiung Lin 林博雄 Ph.D. National Taiwan University,1996. +886-2-33663916 |

| Atmospheric Chemistry Laboratory Professor Hui-Ming, Hung 洪惠敏 Ph.D. California Institute of Technology, 2000. +886-2-33663919 |
Our research uses experiments, observations, and modeling to comprehensively investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of atmospheric constituents (including gases and aerosols) and how interactions between these constituents, atmospheric dynamics, and chemical reactions influence the climate. |
| Lab. for Cloud Dynamics and Modeling (LCDM) Professor Chien-Ming Wu 吳健銘 Ph.D. University of California, Los Angeles, 2008. +886-2-33663905 |
Our laboratory centers on TaiwanVVM and employs a unified set of governing physical equations to investigate multiscale convective aggregation processes, while examining the mechanisms and potential of environmental soundings for predicting local weather. We further integrate explainable artificial intelligence to develop the AI-TaiwanVVM framework, enabling physically guided predictions of future weather patterns over Taiwan under climate change scenarios. |
| Terrstrial Hydroclimatology & Remote Sensing Research Group Professor Min-Hui Lo 羅敏輝 Ph.D. University of California, Irvine, 2010. +886-2-33663918 |
Our group focuses on land-atmosphere interactions, integrating in situ observations, satellite remote sensing, and numerical modeling to investigate how water and energy cycles respond to anthropogenic climate change and how these changes affect climate, extreme events, and ecosystems. |
| Atmospheric Environment Laboratory Associate Professor Wei-Ting Chen 陳維婷 Ph.D. California Institute of Technology, 2009. +886-2-33663914 |
The Atmospheric Environment Laboratory studies tropical organized convection in the Asian monsoon region, spanning convective organization, synoptic controls, and the regional convection–circulation–energetic coupling that leads to features of convection aggregation. We integrate satellite data analysis and field observation campaigns with a hierarchy of models—from large eddy simulations, superparameterized global model, and global storm-resolving models—to develop physically interpretable, storyline-centered projections for weather and extreme rainfall dominated by organized convection over Taiwan and the surrounding monsoon region. |
| Climate Dynamics and Global Change Laboratory Professor Yen-Ting Hwang 黃彥婷 Ph.D. University of Washington, 2013. +886-2-33663904 |
Our lab views the Earth as a coupled system, investigating how energy exchanges between the atmosphere, land, and ocean drive global circulation changes under GHGs, aerosols, and ozone depletion. Integrating physical theory with observational data, IPCC-class modeling, and AI-driven emulators, we decode these large-scale dynamics to sharpen regional projections of shifting rainfall, droughts, and flooding. |
| Polar Climate Research Group Associate Professor Yu-Chiao Liang 梁禹喬 Ph.D. University of California, Irvine, 2018. +886-2-33663907 |
The Polar Climate Research Group aims at studying the fast changing polar climate system. We focus on the causes and consequences of polar amplification using observations, theories, new modeling approaches with different complexity, and innovative data-driven methods. |
| Lab of Chaos and Predictability Assistant Professor Kai-Chih Tseng 曾開治 Ph.D. Colorado State University |
Using hierarchical modeling frameworks, data-driven methods, and statistical mechanics, our lab focuses on the predictability and future projections of climate extremes from a dynamical system perspective. |
| Atmosphere and Ocean Dynamics Lab Assistant Professor Chiung-Yin Chang 張瓊尹 Ph.D. Princeton University |
We bridge the gap between theory and reality by using a hierarchy of simplified models to figure out the "how" and "why" behind the global circulation of our atmosphere and oceans. |
| ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY IN TAIWAN Project Assistant Professor STEPHEN M. GRIFFITH |
In my lab, we focus on atmospheric gas-phase and aerosol chemistry research questions and employ a range of analytical techniques to address them. We are eager to solve air quality problems and direct our findings to policymakers as an aid in making informed decisions |
