Project areas The overall programme is led by Alison Stirling at the Met Office, and is divided into five project areas: 1. Triggering of convection Led by Doug

convective turbulence; investigate introducing turbulence-microphysics coupling; and assess controls on predictability over the WesCon domain. The NERC-funded projects have been combined with work-packages from the Met Office to form an overall programme, led by Alison Stirling and Humphrey Lean
