معرفی
Takatoshi Sakazaki is an Associate Professor at the Division of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University, where he has worked since 2022. Previously, he held positions at the University of Hawaii (2016-2022) and Kyoto University (2013-2016, 2018-2022).
Research Interests: Atmospheric dynamics, climate systems, global resonance modes, stratospheric processes, and satellite observation technologies. His work bridges theoretical studies and practical applications, particularly in understanding atmospheric tides and their interaction with climate phenomena.
Publication Trends: Focus on atmospheric normal modes (Pekeris mode, Lamb waves), quasi-biennial oscillations, tidal dynamics, and satellite-based observation systems (SMILES-2). Recent work includes the first detection of internal atmospheric resonance from the 2022 Tonga eruption and tropical rainfall variability linked to global oscillations.
