Climate science technical notes

Recent reports in the Met Office Hadley Centre Technical Note series.

Climate science involves the development of climate datasets based on observations; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution; and the use of Earth System Models to make future predictions from months to centuries into the future.
