Collaborative projects
Met Office scientists are continually working with other organisations around the world. The aim is to build academic and research relationships with centres of excellence, by combining skills, capabilities, and aligning research and development programmes.
CWINDE
International project using wind profilers across Europe.
NWP Satellite Application Facility
Co-ordinates satellite research and development work of members throughout Europe. Funded by EUMETSAT.
Unified Model Collaboration
Joint programme working with this suite of numerical modelling software.
Joint workshop on numerical methods for global models
Development of tests and diagnostics for atmospheric and ocean model dynamical models.
Other projects include:
GRAS SAF — the
GRAS Meteorology SAF is a EUMETSAT-funded project to develop and run
an operational radio occultation system responsible for delivering refractivity,
temperature, pressure, and humidity profiles in near-real time. The project
also develops portable software products for numerical weather prediction
models and carries out related research. The GRAS SAF is led by the Danish
Meteorological Institute (DMI), with partners Met Office, ECMWF and IEEC
(Institut d'Estudis Espacials de Catalunya). Project
details can be found on the DMI web site.- The Short-Range Numerical Weather Prediction Network (SRNWP) — is a group of European National Weather Services aiming to promote closer cooperation in the development of techniques for short range, high-resolution numerical weather prediction.
