in Physics from Oxford University in 1971, and joined the research department of the Met Office in 1972. His first job was to plan and perform Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSE) to help design the observing network for the First GARP Global Experiment in 1979. This involved building a data

samples) Awardee: University of Oxford The aim of this project is to better understand the sampling statistics of extremes in three winters that were amongst the hottest or wettest in the UKCP18 Global Projections. For these winters, their sea surface temperature and sea ice patterns and atmospheric

on model evaluation Rachel built up a range of expertise covering: Increasing atmospheric resolution. Using dynamical core simulations to help understand increasing resolution and changes to the energy cycle. Using spin-up tendencies. Looking at storm tracks in climate models. Prior joining the Met Office Rachel completed a D.Phil in theoretical nuclear physics at Oxford University.

and the chance of a few light showers. Temperatures will vary significantly across the country. The west and southwest are expected to be the warmest, with highs of 18–20°C and possibly reaching 21°C in central and southern areas such as Oxford. In contrast, the east will feel much cooler
