 has not suddenly got worse: instead, we have an improved estimate of how much warming has taken place.”  The main contributor to warming over the last 170 years is human influence on climate from increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The effects of human-induced climate change

The aim of the group is to understand the role and response of the terrestrial carbon cycle, vegetation and ecosystems in future climate change.

The terrestrial carbon cycle and the world's ecosystems are sensitive to climate and, therefore, to future climate change. They are also able to influence climate through numerous biophysical and biogeochemical mechanisms such as carbon storage within ecosystems; land surface albedo, stomatal

provide shelter from low cloud and surface winds. How has Bristol’s climate changed? Tides – The Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary cause a funnelling of tides and consequently a high tidal range. Air pressure, wind speed and its direction can also influence the height and impact of a storm surge

-averaged correlation of 0.6 (Figure 11). 3.3 Drivers of South Asian precipitation variability The WMO recommend that when selecting models for the SASCOF seasonal forecast, the selection process should also be based on their ability to simulate climate drivers that have an influence on the area

The Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership (WCSSP) programme aims to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities to weather and climate variability around the world.

What is the Weather and Climate Science for Service Partnership programme?  Since 2014 the WCSSP programme has been developing a network of global partnerships, harnessing scientific expertise, to address the impacts of extreme weather and climate change. The programme is funded through the UK

organisations, climate scientists and civil society stakeholders, among others. Agenda The side event was organised and delivered jointly by WISER (ACPC and the Met Office). The objective of the session was to highlight WISER’s approaches to developing climate services and policy influencing
