The Met Office is a science-led organisation and our success in weather forecasting and climate prediction depends, critically, on having a world-class research programme.
Research news brings you regular updates on some of the latest research activities and developments within the Met Office.
Observational data are essential to our forecasting systems and provide information about how the climate has changed over many years.
Numerical models are at the heart of our forecasts and products as well as much of our research and development.
Foundation Science provides the underpinning science and model development critical to both weather and climate prediction.
Climate Science provides the science capabilities to meet the requirements of a number of government and business customers.
Weather Science provides the forecasting capabilities that are used for routine operational short to medium range forecasting of the weather, the oceans and their impacts.
All our research and development is underpinned by excellent scientists with a broad range of skills.
Research collaboration will be essential for delivering the predictive capability that the Met Office will require in the coming decade.
Our science regularly appears in books, reports and peer reviewed journals. Browse the publications by Met Office scientists.
