About us

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, and severe weather systems. Current research topics particularly focus on the investigation of the physical processes of orographic precipitation in typhoon environment, as well as the structures and dynamics of coastal convection and typhoon rainbands, using ground-based and airborne Doppler radar observations.
