His research interests include: the impact of resolution and vertical coordinate systems on the ocean models’ representation of the bottom topography influence on the oceanic flow (e.g., gravity currents, currents steering); accurate numerical schemes for computing horizontal
to occur, where the stratospheric temperature can rise by 50 °C. When this event has occurred previously it has often led to cold conditions across the UK, linked to a weakening of the polar jet stream – the high-altitude ribbon of air which steers weather systems towards us from the Atlantic

improved weather forecasts. In addition to steering the scientific direction of the team, Chris is working to develop technical aspects of the new coupled forecast system and to assess its performance. He is also involved in testing and reviewing many other changes related to both the coupled
for the journey ahead. According to National Highways, when driving in heavy rain and waterlogged roads, motorists should slow down and keep well back from the vehicle in front. They should also ease off the accelerator, slowing down gradually if the steering becomes unresponsive. Rain makes it harder
