and tropical cyclones. She has also carried out experiments to understand the mechanisms of the future changes in storms. She is the lead author of four publications in refereed journals on the impacts of increased greenhouse gases on mid-latitude storms and tropical cyclones. Prior to joining the Met Office, Ruth completed an MSc on Weather, Climate and Modelling at Reading University. She also has a BSc in Mathematics from Leeds University.

’, with half (57%) of people surveyed in the Black Country preferring to say ‘bucketing’. The people of Newcastle and Leeds apparently like the term ‘chucking it down’, with 6 in 10 people from Newcastle (60%) and 58% of people in Leeds describing torrential rain this way. Although many might assume

This involves aiding the developers in testing and debugging their components of UKCA, preparing the new components for incorporation into the Unified Model and maintaining as well as documenting them

on to study for an MSc in Atmosphere & Ocean Dynamics, provided by the Institute of Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS) at the University of Leeds. After university, Andrew worked for 1.5 years in the sustainability sector where he developed methods and visualisations to help large organisations and governments track their environmental impact.

Project initiated by the Working Group on Numerical Experimentation (WGNE) of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and endorsed by GASS (GEWEX Atmosphere System Study). Lorenzo obtained Ph.D.s in Mathematics as well as in Natural Sciences, both from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETHZ), Switzerland. Since March 2025 he is also an Associate Professor in the School of Mathematics at the University of Leeds.
