Welcome to the HP of Takahito Mitsui

I'm a postdoctoral researcher on (paleo)climate dynamics at Technical University of Munich and a guest researcher at Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). I investigate

• ice ages (glacial-interglacial cycles)
• the middle Pleistocene transition
  
• millennial-scale abrupt climate changes (Dansgaard-Oeschger events)
• current interglacial climate (Holocene) and future 
  
• climate tipping elements
• Indian Summer Monsoon 

with the aid of

• mathematical modelling, in the use of data assimilation techniques (nonlinear Kalman filtering)
• dynamical systems analysis of climate models (bifurcations, quasiperiodicity, chaos, strange nonchaotic attractor (SNA), synchronizations, as well as noise-induced oscillations)
• machine learning (reservoir computing)
• Climate modelling with Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models

Press release for ERL article on the prediction of Indian Summer Monsoon onset

Our paper is published in Nature
