Dr. Mayumi K. Yoshioka is an Associate Senior Researcher in Earth Observation Research Center (EORC) at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). She joined JAXA/EORC in May 2020, and then, is now working for studies about EarthCARE mission, joint European-Japanese Earth observation mission, Aeulos doppler lider satellite data use/analysis project collaborated with MRI/JMA.
Mayumi received her Bachelor degree in engineer from Nihon University in 1990, Master degree in science from the University of Tokyo in 1992, and coursework completed without Doctor degree in Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Graduate School of Science, the University of Tokyo in 1997. She received Ph. D degree in science from Nagoya University in 2012.
She joined the Earth Simulator project from 1999 in RIST, and moved ESC in 2001, since then, worked for development/studies of AGCM performing at a huge hybrid parallel computer system, in addition to meteorological studies. In 2007, she moved Nagoya University and joined non-hydrostatic mesoscale model developing/modeling/research team. Since then, she conducted numerical simulations and performed idealized experiments for mesoscale phenomena, especially tropical cyclones, and reported.
Her recent research interests is assimilation impact on tropical cyclones (typhoons) in numerical forecasts utilizing wind data from satellite-borne lidar measurements of Aeulos satellite, to investigate their behaviors in dynamical processes.
