Former WWW page of MASUDA Kooiti at JAMSTEC

I have been working at:

• 2000 - 2003: Hydrological Cycle Research Program, Frontier Research System for Global Change (FRSGC),
• 2004 - 2008: Hydrological Cycle Research Program, Frontier Research Center for Global Change (FRCGC), Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC),
• 2009 - March 2011: Global Hydro-Climate Process Research Team, Global Change Projection Research Program, Research Institute for Global Change (RIGC), JAMSTEC.

From April 2011 on, I am going to work at Center for Research and Development Strategy (CRDS) of Japan Science and Technology Corporation (JST).

I have maintained this web site during I worked at FRSGC and FRCGC and put materials of work-in-progress about the study of the global energy and water cycle in the climate system.

Though I am not completely leaving JAMSTEC, I will no longer be able to keep this web site.

I maintain a personal web site at http://macroscope.world.coocan.jp. Among the contents which were presented here, I will select such ones that are still worth put on the web, and place them of the personal site. The following pages have already moved.

• A review article "Global warming and associated changes in the hydrological cycle" (in English) is [here], and associated presentation materials (in Japanese) is [here],
• An essay "To apprehend global warming, not too lightly, not to gravely" (English translation) is [here], and its original Japanese text is [here],
• Presentation material for a lecture about monsoons (in Japanese) is [here],

I plan to place some of more expert-oriented materials in http://macroscope.world.coocan.jp/en/hydroclim/ [not made yet as of 2011-03-31].
