The influence of mountains and hills on both local weather and large-scale weather systems.

blocking, hills and mountains influence the development of weather systems and the global atmospheric circulation. These processes need to be represented in weather and climate prediction models. Our research explores several aspects of atmospheric flow over orography. These include investigations

Climate Change (OCDC) group. 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

, the wind died down and the hills opened up to reveal the City of Celestia. Odd-shaped houses, a mishmash of quirky shops and higgledy-piggledy streets wound their way around the Forest of Fahrenheits. In the centre of the forest stood the pointiest and shiniest building – the Sun Citadel, where

South West England: climate The counties included in this area are Cornwall, Devon and Somerset together with the four administrative areas around Bristol (formerly Avon) and the Isles of Scilly. Much of the landscape of Devon and Cornwall consists of plateaux at varying levels. The plateaux

the 1980s and 1990s, a capability was operationalized to make skillful seasonal climate forecasts for many regions including boreal summer rainfall in the Sahel. The primary source of predictability for these seasonal forecasts in the Sahel is the influence exerted by large scale sea surface

Pacific Ocean and this influences global temperatures, pushing them above the trend from man-made climate change. However, this year is noteworthy because, even without that extra shove from El Niño, we are seeing annual temperatures that are higher than anything in the record prior to 2015
