information from cloudy infrared satellite imagery, and assimilation of tropical convective rainfall rates derived from infrared imagery. Before joining the Met Office, Samantha gained a PhD from Cambridge University, using model temperature errors to study middle latitude ozone depletion. As an undergraduate Samantha received a degree in Natural Sciences, also from Cambridge University.

anthropogenic climate change. Career Background Ian joined the Met Office Hadley Centre in 2004 and has worked on ocean biogeochemical modelling since that time. Ian was awarded a BA in Natural Sciences by the University of Cambridge, and after a year at the University of Bristol obtaining an MSc in Fluid Dynamics returned to Cambridge. Studying in the Faculty of Earth Sciences, he was awarded a PhD for research into seismic imaging techniques.
this period focused on improving the representation of volcanic eruptions in dispersion models and the pull through of science into operations, which involves collaboration with many Universities and institutions. Prior to joining the Met Office, Claire did a PhD at the University of Cambridge
background Professor Stephen Belcher obtained his PhD in fluid dynamics from the University of Cambridge in 1990 and has subsequently published over 100 peer-reviewed papers on the fluid dynamics of atmospheric and oceanic turbulence. Having completed his PhD he became a research fellow at Stanford
Sciences (Physical Chemistry) and PhD from the University of Cambridge. His doctoral work focused on development of novel broadband spectroscopic techniques for ultra-sensitive measurement of atmospheric reactive trace gases. He applied these techniques in a range of field and laboratory
