What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
William K. M. Lau mainly investigates Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation, Aerosol and Monsoon.
His Climatology research incorporates themes from Snow, Meteorology and Climate model.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Atmospheric sciences, Atmosphere are connected with Oceanic climate and other disciplines.
In the subject of general Precipitation, his work in Intertropical Convergence Zone is often linked to Atmospheric instability, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
His work in Aerosol covers topics such as Smoke which are related to areas like Southern Hemisphere.
His work on East Asian Monsoon and Monsoon of South Asia as part of general Monsoon study is frequently linked to South asia and Period, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
