and restoring ecosystems we reduce our vulnerability and increase our resilience to the changing climate, now and in the future.  Nigel said: “We need to do the things we know we can do on a bigger scale, like making our landscapes more natural, making them more flood resilient, and our towns and cities

until Christmas and this year’s prediction was made using weather forecast at longer lead times. As a result, the uncertainty of Santa's journey times this year is naturally higher as reflected by the width of the bell curve.  The bigger picture  This festive application demonstrates how our system

Change Committee, direct greenhouse gas emissions from buildings were around 17% of the UK total in 2019. Lowering demand for heating homes can help reduce this through insulation and smart heating controls. A bigger shift, however, is required in terms of the fuels used to heat homes. Approximately 74

orography suggest it does not make a big difference, but sub-grid terms might still do. • The GungHo dynamics have different conservation properties. We are trying to reproduce this effect in the UM by tweaking the ‘fountain-buster’ setting in the convection scheme. Mean orography (m) Figure 9: native

: In-Confidence Earth System Modelling and Prediction Programme ▪ ▪ Southern Ocean is a big source of marine aerosol which controls cloud formation in the region. Southern Ocean clouds are very important for the global energy budget, but are poorly understood. The mean austral summer time bias: Incoming

before the introduction of named storms in 2015. “One thing that is clear from observations is that there’s big variability year-to-year in the number and intensity of storms that impact the UK. This large variability is related to the UK’s location at the edge of continental Europe and relatively

forecast is how long this heat will persist before cooler, more unsettled conditions return.  The Big Picture At the time of writing, the jet stream is positioned to the north of the UK, allowing high pressure to dominate and usher in warm air from the south. This setup is expected to hold through

the line and de-icing the surface of the 3rd rail.   “Leaves on the line can be a big issue at this time of year. When trains run over leaves on a track, it creates a poor adhesion environment, where trains – which are obviously very heavy – struggle to get the friction required to move and stop
