and Leeds City Council. However, the group agreed that the information couldn’t provide robust estimates of changes in intense rainfall and wanted to understand how UKCP18 could. At the other extreme, although prolonged drought is a relatively infrequent hazard in Yorkshire, the consequences are costly
to this he was based at the University of Leeds (including stints at the University of Surrey) as a postdoctoral research fellow, latterly funded by the NERC postdoctoral fellowship scheme. Simon completed a PhD on the behaviour of orographic internal gravity waves at the Department of Applied
mountains, sometimes obscured by rolling storm clouds. The aim of the visit was to evaluate the UK and Brazil climate models using a new suite of analysis tools developed by the University of Leeds. Working closely alongside my Brazilian hosts enabled us to share expertise, develop research ideas

Prior to this Steven undertook his PhD at the University of Leeds, investigating the impact of changing anthropogenic emissions on European atmospheric aerosols and climate
, and how this influences global precipitation. Hopefully this might lead to improved predictions of regional precipitation changes.
