  • Assessment of predictability and forecast skill

Publications by Rosemary Eade

Current activities

Rosemary's work involves investigation into the predictability of climate variables on monthly to decadal time scales, and assessment of the forecast skill of decadal prediction systems, primarily using ensemble predictions from the Met Office Decadal Prediction System, DePreSys.

Rosemary is researching the decadal variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation and associated global teleconnections. The aim of this work is to improve understanding of the variability, and to increase prediction capability. Rosemary is also investigating ways to speed up the spin-up of medium resolution coupled climate models.

Career background

Rosemary joined the Met Office Hadley Centre in 2008 as a member of the Monthly to Decadal Prediction group. Prior to that, Rosemary achieved an Atmospheric Science MSc from the University of East Anglia, following on from a BSc in Mathematics from Cambridge University, and worked briefly as a research assistant for the British Antarctic Survey. Rosemary completed a PhD in mathematics and statistics in 2024 at the University of Exeter.
