for volunteering with MapAction – but has volunteering benefited her work at the Met Office? “Yes, I really think so,” says Jo. “It’s given me an understanding of what the big questions are when it comes to responding to an emergency, and how different organisations have to work together – and that really

on Saturday. “That high sticks around on Sunday for the big race but it starts to edge back a bit further west which means there will be a bit of a northerly breeze in the southeast and quite a bit of cloud around as well.” Temperatures are likely to be around 6°C in Greenwich at the start of the day

Met Office has issued a yellow weather warning that is currently in force, as a deep area of low pressure brings spells of very heavy rain to much of England and Wales.  Chief Meteorologist, Neil Armstrong, said: “Many people will have noticed a big change in the weather this week, as last week’s

Applications team is to lead, manage and deliver projects which provide insights to inform customer decision-making. He analyses spatial and temporal weather and climate patterns in big datasets to assess potential impacts on defence operations and equipment. He also has particular expertise in fire

. • Tonight: What are the temperatures forecast to be overnight? • Bigger picture: High pressure over the continent is drawing warm air over the UK. The low to the left might bring relief later in the weekend and next week. • Tomorrow: For now though, the heatwave continues. How hot will it be tomorrow

Radar – Sends out electromagnetic pulses which detect objects in the sky, like raindrops, and can tell how big they are, where they are and how fast they are falling Satellite – take pictures of the earth so that we can see what cloud is out there in the sky across a big area. This helps us to check

work and expertise that our people apply to develop international standards recognised.  In this case, Chris represents a cohort of experts that have made significant contributions to the sharing and use of big data and very much deserves this esteemed recognition by the geospatial data community.” Award nominations for the Gardels Award are made by members – the prior Gardels Award winners – and approved by the OGC board of directors.

.    “People ask how a bigger computer improves the weather forecast,” he said. “One big thing this new computer will allow us to do in the near future is to be able to produce 14-day forecasts with a similar kind of accuracy than we can today for seven, eight, nine days.”   Beyond that, he said

 - a statistician from the University of Edinburgh who originally developed the analysis approach used in EUSTACE - has quantified the leap we made: “This data set is 100,000 times bigger than anything we have attempted using these methods before.” To make such a long climate data set useful we need consistent

volcanoes. The research focus was on the development of the retrieval algorithm and the investigation of sensitivities and uncertainties in the retrieved SO2 parameters (plume height, spread, load). In 2019, Maria joined The Informatics Lab to lead on the Environmental Futures and Big Data Impact
