• Human dynamics of climate change

  The Human dynamics of climate change poster studies the impacts of climate change in the context of present-day human dynamics

  The impacts of climate change will not be experienced in isolation, but will affect humans in the context of the way we live. The 'Human dynamics of climate change' poster aims to illustrate some of the impacts of climate and population change in the context of a globalised world. You can download

• Climate monitoring and attribution scientists

  Our climate monitoring and attribution scientists

  Nick Rayner Nick leads the Climate Monitoring and Attribution team. She is an expert in the development of observed climate data sets. Dr Peter Stott Peter is a Science Fellow in the attribution of climate change to anthropogenic and natural causes. Dr Chris Atkinson Chris works on the development

• Climate change in your area

  New tool shows what climate change might look like in your area

  climate projections really puts future extremes into context. We’ve seen a raft of record-breaking weather over the past few years, and when you put that side by side with the projections it really brings to life what the weather could look like if we don’t significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions

• State of the UK Climate 2016

  Met Office State of the UK Climate report shows 2016 the 13th warmest year.

  , said: “Although 2016 may not be regarded as remarkable for temperature, it does feature within a notable decade for temperature records. The trend towards warmer temperatures is clear, but of course natural variation in our climate will always mean that increases are not always even year on year

• Global Climate Observing System

  Global Climate Observing System The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) is intended to be a long-term, user-driven operational system capable of providing the comprehensive observations required for monitoring the climate syst

  GCOS is vital for: detecting and attributing climate change; assessing the impacts of climate variability and change; supporting research toward improved understanding, modelling and prediction of the climate system. It addresses the total climate system including physical, chemical and biological

• Climate monitoring of the land and atmosphere

  Global observations of surface and upper air temperature and humidity, surface pressure and precipitation are used to provide advice on global climate variability and change.

  Temperature, precipitation and humidity and their extremes can have a major impact on our lives. Observational datasets are used to monitor land and atmospheric climate variables, to understand how the climate has changed over time and to examine the occurrence of extremes in temperature and heat

• Climate information for international development

  Working in partnership with scientific institutions in developing countries to generate and communicate information on climate variability and change

  The Climate Information for International Development team is a diverse mix of scientific software engineers and scientists working to generate, analyse and communicate information to a range of customers. Activities include scientific analysis and training, model development, regional climate

• Sea ice in the climate system

  Arctic sea ice is a sensitive indicator of climate change and changes to the sea ice cover can have potential implications for the Arctic region and beyond.

  Found in both the Arctic and Antarctic, sea ice regulates heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere, supports polar ecosystems, and serves as a sensitive indicator of climate change. Sea ice forms in high-latitude regions where winter darkness and cold temperatures allow the ocean to freeze
