Atmospheric processes

Salah Kouhen presented on weather predictability and his recent research on atmospheric energy spectra at the OCCD Colloquium hosted by GEOMAR in Kiel.

In a recently published first investigation of MUMIP datasets, we present methods to address whether uncertainty may be captured accurately.

Bradley's new paper highlights that the current ML toolbox is ill-equipped for climate change modelling, where distribution shift is not an edge case but an inevitability.

Our recent publication explores how GenCast, a probabilistic machine learning model, performs at seasonal forecasting. This reveals how GenCast generalises beyond medium-range forecasting, and how it captures interactions with the ocean.

Atmospheric Processes at the EERIE General Assembly Highlight summary Four members of the Atmospheric Processes group attended the EERIE General Assembly in Barcelona

In a recent group meeting, we shared tips and best practices to help us navigate this brave new world together

Professor Christensen's research demonstrates breadth, innovation, and impact and she has explored uncertainty representation in both climate and weather forecasts.

Laura, Lilli, Peter, Simon, Edward and Milan attended the EGU General Assembly in Vienna.

PhD student Lilli Freischem has been selected for the 2025 blue boat

Salah Kouhen successfully passed his viva!

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

Edward Groots new paper on "When tiny convective spread affects a midlatitude jet: spread sequence" has just been submitted to QJRMetS

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

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.

New study demonstrates the ability of ultra high-resolution climate models to accurately represent convective thunderstorm dynamics
