PhD student Lilli Freischem has been selected for the 2025 blue boat 28 March 2025 Congratulations to Dr Salah Kouhen Salah Kouhen successfully passed his viva! 20 March 2025 New paper: advancing severe storm prediction in Met Office forecasts Our new approach to representing severe storms has been implemented in the UK Met Office's weather and climate model, with substantial impacts on rainfall predictions and sub-seasonal variability 4 March 2025 New paper: the butterfly effect measured for a storm over Germany Edward Groots new paper on "When tiny convective spread affects a midlatitude jet: spread sequence" has just been submitted to QJRMetS 12 February 2025 New paper: A new perspective on a 40 year mystery The small motions in the atmosphere are more energetic than we expect. Why this is the case has been an enduring mystery in atmospheric physics for over forty years. Thanks to Salah Kouhen's recent paper, we're a big step closer to solving this mystery 16 November 2024 Oxford Workshop on Model Uncertainty 2024 comes to a close MU24 was a great success, welcoming 100+ in-person attendees from four continents to Oxford Physics to talk about weather and climate model uncertainty and what we should do about it. 27 September 2024 New paper: thunderstorm dynamics in k-scale models New study demonstrates the ability of ultra high-resolution climate models to accurately represent convective thunderstorm dynamics 31 May 2024
