  Copyright 2020 Executive summary Background: UKCP Global (60 km) consisted of 28 realisations of climate variables for 1900-2100 as simulated by 28 coupled ocean-atmosphere climate models. The 28 realisations consisted of 15 variants of the HadGEM3-GC3.05 global climate model (GCM) developed at the Met

• 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

  and Africa leading to the season’s highest temperature of 18.4 °C at Santon Downham (Suffolk) on 24 February. Dr Mark McCarthy is the head of the Met Office National Climate Information Centre. He said: “February 2021 has seen a wide temperature range resulting from the two predominant weather patterns

• 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

• 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

• UK Climate Resilience Programme

  The Met Office co-led the UK Climate Resilience Programme (UKCR) from 2019 to 2023.

  From 2019 to 2023, the UK Climate Resilience Programme united multi-disciplinary research to enhance the UK's resilience to climate variability and change. Under the Strategic Priorities Fund, the programme was led by the Met Office and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership
