and tropical cyclones. She has also carried out experiments to understand the mechanisms of the future changes in storms. She is the lead author of four publications in refereed journals on the impacts of increased greenhouse gases on mid-latitude storms and tropical cyclones. Prior to joining the Met Office, Ruth completed an MSc on Weather, Climate and Modelling at Reading University. She also has a BSc in Mathematics from Leeds University.

 network was still being established. Things to bear in mind Whilst many diaries comprise observations taken with great care the sites were not official and therefore accuracy of readings can be affected by poorly positioned instruments and use of non-standard instruments which may not have been

as conducting work to improve the forecasts by incorporating recent observations. Career background Lucy graduated from Warwick University in 2007 with a BSc in Mathematics before completing an MSc in Atmosphere, Ocean and Climate at Reading University. Lucy joined the Met Office in 2008, as part of the Atmospheric Dispersion and Air Quality Group.

tool based on downscaled NWP and hindcast data Supporting development of solar climatology over Europe using hindcast data Career background Karen holds a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Strathclyde and an MSc in Weather, Climate and Modelling from the University of Reading. She worked

in the Met Office Hadley Centre models. She focused on aspects of the land surface scheme such as soil moisture and vegetation and their effects on the wider hydrological cycle. Before joining the Met Office, Ruth gained a PhD at the Environmental Systems Science Centre at the University of Reading

the Atmospheric Dispersion and Air Quality group in 2024. Prior to joining the Met Office, Gemma gained an MSc in Applied Meteorology at Reading University with a Scholarship from the Royal Meteorological Society. She investigated the evolution of the 2006-2007 temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific

Forecasts (ECMWF). From 2001 to 2013 he was a Research Fellow in the Data Assimilation Research Centre (DARC) and in the National Centre for Earth Observations (NCEO) at the University of Reading.  He gained a PhD at the University of Florence (Italy) with a thesis on microwave remote sensing

for check readings. Temperature measured by a PRT is related to the resistance of the instrument’s platinum wire, measured by means of high precision electrical equipment usually located close to the screen. The thermometer is calibrated every eight years providing traceability to the national

In addition, there are four liquid-in-glass thermometers in the screen that are used solely for check readings.
