    • Object of Education

    The goals of the department are to understand the variational physical, chemical phenomena occurred in the Earth's atmosphere, to explain these phenomena based on the related theories, and to predict the atmospheric phenomena in the future. In addition, the global climatotogical changes, weather prediction.

  • Urban Atmospheric Environment Lab (Prof. Jae-Jin Kim)

    • We aim at the better understanding of urban effects on weather, climate, and the environment. For this, we study every side of fluid or atmospheric phenomena that attract our attention through linear and weakly nonlinear theoretical approaches and nonlinear numerical-model simulations.




  •  Tropospheric Chemistry and Atmospheric Monitoring Lab (Prof. Wonsik Choi)

    • Tropospheric chemistry with a focus on photochemical secondary products (e.g., ozone and secondary aerosols). 

    Urban emissions of particulate/gaseous pollutants: sources, distributions, transport, dynamics/chemistry, and potential impacts on human health. 

    Built-environmental effects on in-canopy turbulence and urban air quality. 

    Ultrafine particles (smaller than 100 nm): emissions, number and size distributions, particle dynamics and human exposure.


  •  Polar Climate Modelling Lab (Prof. Baek-Min Kim)

    • Polar climate change analysis/prediction

    Mid-latitude extreme weather analysis/modelling

    Earth system interaction modelling




     

  • Stochastic climate dynamics lab (Prof. Woosok Moon)

    • Statistical mechanics is a mathematical frame to describe the irregular movements of microphysical systems. It has been used in climate science to represent the interaction between chaotic weather and slowly evolving climate. The lab uses atmospheric and oceanic fluid dynamics and climate big data under the frame of statistical mechanics to interpret the current climate and predict near future of climate under global warming. 

  • Hydrometeorology Group (Prof. Eunkyo Seo)

    • Our group aims to understand land-atmosphere interactions from observation, satellite, and numerical modeling. To overcome the limitations in the observation and remotely sensed products, a data assimilation system is developed to create a land reanalysis that is used for land initialization to increase prediction skills in the dynamical forecast system. Additionally, the assimilated product is used to understand the physical mechanism of extreme climate events.
