Comment from Associate Professor Yoshiaki Miyamoto, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies
I am very happy to receive this prestigious award. The Shono Award is named after Dr. Shigekata Shono, the mentor of Nobel laureate in Physics Syukuro Manabe, and I am extremely honored to receive it, as it has been awarded to many outstanding senior members of the society in the past. I believe this is thanks to the support I have received from the students, faculty, researchers, and all staff members who I work with at SFC. This award is based on the results of my fundamental research in meteorology, such as the study of typhoon intensification mechanisms, and while it may not be directly related to the research at SFC, I hope to use this as an opportunity to develop it in various ways. I will continue to devote myself to my work so as to be worthy of this award.
