temperature and wind.  Career background Helen joined the Met Office in 2012 after completing an MPhys in Physics at Cardiff University. Whilst working for the Met Office, Helen undertook a PhD with the University of Reading to develop a method for representing black carbon (BC) concentration in snow and study the impacts of including BC snow darkening effects in the JULES land surface model.  

. Mike is a EUMETNET Short Range NWP Expert Team member and represents the Met Office at European Working Group on Limited Area Modelling (EWGLAM) meetings. Career background Mike has been a member of the Mesoscale Model Development and Diagnostics group since 2002. He joined the Met Office in 1996. Prior to joining the Met Office Mike completed an MSc at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading.

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

for operational use and one for backup, may be seen at the end of the looping black cables. In addition, there are four liquid-in-glass thermometers in the screen that are used solely for check readings. Temperature measured by a PRT is related to the resistance of the instrument’s platinum wire, measured

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

, in collaboration with the Met Office and the University of Reading. WCSSP South Africa is part of the Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership programme, supported by the UK Government’s Newton Fund. The WCSSP programme is developing a global network of projects and partnerships

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

of Meteorology (MMet) degree at Reading University. As part of the course, she spent her third year at Oklahoma University in the United States, which gave her opportunity to study a wide range of extreme weather conditions.

where she continued working on passive microwave remote sensing of soil moisture, a subject she studied for her PhD at the Environmental Systems Science Centre at Reading University. As an undergraduate Eleanor studied Physics at Oxford University and also has an MSc in Oceanography from Southampton University.
