She went on to obtain an MSc in applied meteorology, and a PhD in urban meteorology at the University of Reading Department of Meteorology, sponsored by the Met Office as a CASE student. Her PhD project involved making observations

) to forecast rainfall, soil state and flooding. Prior to joining the Met Office Heather completed a PhD in meteorology jointly at Reading University and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), Wallingford. Her PhD focused on modelling the coupling between the land surface and atmosphere using the JULES

on climate change and variability in the North Atlantic Ocean. In 2016, in conjunction with Reading University and whilst working at the Met Office, he completed his PhD in dynamical oceanography. In 2018 he left the Met Office to work at Sorbonne Université and subsequently École Normale Supérieure in Paris

model to provide forecasts of dust storms in arid and semi-arid regions. Career background Melissa has been a member of the Global Atmosphere Model Development group since she joined the Met Office in 2004. Prior to joining the Met Office she completed a PhD at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. Her PhD used cloud radar and lidar observations to evaluate weather forecasting and climate models under the CloudNET project.
