around the world who are tackling climate change and making changes to reduce their impact of the environment? How do you feel when you hear about communities around the world who are tackling climate change and making changes to reduce their impact of the environment? Big question: Can extreme weather situations build a better sense of community? Big question: Can local action combat climate change? Big question: Can local action combat climate change?

Ministry of Earth Sciences GLOBAL UNIFIED MODEL PARTNERSHIP BIG DATA – BIG SCIENCE – A GRAND CHALLENGE The global Unifi ed Model Partnership brings together institutes from nine countries that use and develop the Unifi ed Model – a world-leading seamless modelling system. The system underpins

Why are clouds white? Clouds are white because light from the Sun is white. As light passes through a cloud, it interacts with the water droplets, which are much bigger than the atmospheric particles that exist in the sky. When sunlight reaches an atmospheric particle in the sky, blue light

the web. Our forecasts for tomorrow are right six times out of seven. Here you will find some facts about weather forecasting – an insight into our foresight. Weather forecasting — the big picture 01 Observations are essential FACT 1 — Before we forecast the weather, we collect observations

enterprise, and we strongly believe that the impact of local food and drink is about making connections with the land and connections between people. How does the weather impact the food and drink festivals you run? Our festivals are all open-air, so weather plays a big role in whether they take place

and the bigger impact it can have on our health. There are many causes of air pollution. Outdoor air pollution’s caused by: • vehicles (cars, vans, planes, trains, boats and so on) • factories • farming • burning fuel (bonfires, wood burners, barbecues and so on) Indoor air pollution is caused by: • cooking

And then there are the times when we’re into big, not just multi day, but multi month searches. If someone has been lost in an avalanche when we have

satellites take pictures of the earth so that we can see cloud/temperature/wind information across a big area. This helps us to check that the forecast is going as expected over the UK, but if lots of satellite “pictures” are put together in a sequence, they can help us track weather systems

Mine micro-modelling and transport improvement design using big data in Africa Background: West Africa has seen several mega-mining projects being developed over the past decade. Challenges include understanding the impact of the mine design on the local weather and associated effects on the local
