• Researchers point the way to managing climate change risks

  research into those climate events which are considered less likely to happen, but if they did could unleash even greater impacts. Climate scientists refer to these as ‘High-Impact Low-Likelihood’ events; or HILL events for short. Examples of these events include levels of warming or rainfall

• Dartmoor Gliding Society - Ed Borlase

  Ed Borlase is a Bronze level Glider operator in Devon, and part of the Dartmoor Gliding Society. Here he tells us the crucial role the weather, weather forecasts and data play in being able to fly safely.

  the ground, which in turn heats the air above, and this warm air then rises. As it rises, it cools and expands, forming clouds when the air has cooled to the dew point and the moisture (if present) condenses. These ‘fair weather clouds’, with flat bottoms and fluffy white tops form a clear marker

  are not just interested in the surface temperature of the lake. They also want to know about the temperature gradient beneath the surface. A warm current below the surface of the lake sometimes causes fish to rot in the nets before they can be harvested. Nile perch fishermen hang their drift nets

  . • For clouds to form, the air needs to cool so that the moisture in the air condenses. Discuss mechanisms that cause air to rise and cool. • Convection: Discuss how warmer air rises upwards while cold air sinks down. Point out resemblance of patterns with cumulus cloud tops. • Cloud in bottle: Discuss how

  by coalescence and condensation in a warm sub-tropical boundary layer. These clouds are associated with drizzle showers with larger drops than the surrounding stratocumulus but with low rates of precipitation reaching the ground, often less than 1 mm per hour. The image shows small scale bands of low

  , the observed world represents a more limited sample (53 years of HadUK-Grid compared to a HadGEM3-A model ensemble of 525 members for 7 years), so the model will have a greater number of these extreme events. Secondly, the current (2023) climate is warmer than any previous time in the observational
