GHACOF 51 report Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum Introduction GHACOF 51 was held on 11 - 12 February 2019 at the Imperial Golf View Hotel, Entebbe, Uganda by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC), the Uganda National Meteorological Authority (UNMA) and partners

July 2018 - Scientists from the Met Office and hydro-meteorologists from the Flood Forecasting Centre have objectively identified the weather patterns associated with coastal flooding in the UK.

probabilistic medium- to long-range weather pattern forecasting tool (Decider), called Coastal Decider. Coastal Decider is used by the Flood Forecasting Centre to assist in the decision making process which alerts the Environment Agency and the wider responder community to the possibility of a coastal

has developed an experimental process to forecast icing alerts which is a development of our experience in predicting icing in other areas such as aviation, bridge superstructures, and overhead electricity lines. The process looks at the contributing weather factors such as weather type (e.g. Light

As a Specialist Geospatial Centre (SGC) for the Ministry Of Defence (MOD), the Met Office provides a key element of its foundation geospatial information capability, and has directly supported British and allied operations worldwide for over 100 years. Met Office defence teams have extensive

We are a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) designated provider of meteorological services, a World Area Forecast Centre and a Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre.

of services, we support UK pilots, airlines, and airports with free meteorological information, with performance continuously assessed against KPIs agreed with the CAA. Internationally, we improve flight safety and fuel efficiency as a World Area Forecast Centre and Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre

Centre Technical Note. Neil has recently worked with Met Office Hadley Centre colleagues to assess the efficacy of pattern scaling as a method to provide climate change projections for time periods and emission scenarios that have not been simulated by climate model simulations. The study explored

EWSA’s fourth and final testbed with centres also in South Africa and Zambia.  The Weather and Climate Information Services (WISER) programme’s Early Warnings for Southern Africa (EWSA) project is a collaborative initiative implemented by partners in Mozambique, South Africa, Zambia, the United Kingdom

HadCM3 stands for the Hadley Centre Coupled Model version 3. It was developed in 1999 and was the first unified model climate configuration not to require flux adjustments (artificial adjustments applied to climate model simulations to prevent them drifting into unrealistic climate states). HadCM3

to underpin surface-input-only 4D weather reconstructions (reanalyses) over the last 200-250 years for climate applications and impacts needs worldwide.  The National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK (NOCS): our collaboration on surface temperature data both over the ocean and the land includes
