• 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

• 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

• The beautiful game in a changing climate

  heavy rainfall events in the UK associated with flooding can be linked to human-caused climate change. Events such as the wettest February on record in 2020, or the record-breaking rainfall seen on 3 October 2020, are expected to become more frequent by 2100 due to climate change.” Why are we talking

  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

  Data Portal Home Accessing UKCP Data: User Interface Observations UKCP18 includes a comprehensive set of observations of weather and climate covering the UK, with some records extending back over 150 years. Examining observations enables us to place the model simulated climate into context. Read more

  study of the UK’s record-breaking annual temperature in 2022, where human-induced climate change made this event around 160 times more likely.  In December 2023, the Met Office annual global temperature forecast was published. Global average temperature rise is measured as the difference between 1850
