Atmospheric processes

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
