to understand the time-scales involved in the build-up of the model biases, by analysing the evolution of the errors in five-day forecasts to seasonal and decadal climate predictions. Career background Richard joined the Met Office Hadley Centre in 2008. Before that, Richard was a post-doctoral

Prof Adam Scaife, of the Met Office Hadley Centre, said: “Signs of this event appeared in forecasts from late January and in the last few days we have seen a dramatic rise in air temperature, known as a Sudden Stratospheric Warming, at around 30km above the North Pole. This warming results from

and regional climate change. The purpose of the group is to develop scientific capability to detect the signature of climate change and attribute to the cause.   Career background Mark joined the Met Office Hadley Centre in 1999, where he spent the first 7 years years of his career working in the Climate

A new study by scientists in the Met Office Hadley Centre has found that days with extreme rainfall accumulations will become more frequent through the century. The research used the record rainfall observed on 3 October 2020 as an example and found that while in a natural environment

currently used by the Met Office and several other large operational centres. This formulation is very expensive computationally and it is necessary to see whether its use will still be justified on future supercomputers with more parallel architecture. Mike is also taking a lead in making fuller use

, rapidly rising air, leading to the development of a centre of low pressure, or depression, at the surface. There are various trigger mechanisms required to transform these cloud clusters into a tropical storm and eventually into a hurricane. These trigger mechanisms depend on several conditions
