Climate modelling at the Met Office

As faster supercomputers with more processing power are developed, harnessing this power and speed for the benefit of improving climate projections is the dream of climate scientists. The reality is there will never be enough speed or capability to infinitely improve climate models in all aspects

Configurations of the Unified Model for seasonal, decadal and centennial climate predictions run at the Met Office.

These are usually lower resolution than the models used for day to day weather forecasting, and include ocean and sea-ice components coupled to the atmosphere model in order to represent the full coupled climate system. Additional processes associated with atmospheric chemistry and the ecosystem

What is the Seasonal Climate Outlook? Following the El Nino event in 2015, the Met Office worked with the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the University of Reading to design a new service which would provide insights into the upcoming season and enable more

This page displays airfield climate statistics for 48 UK airports including occurrences of Low Visibility Procedures, temperature, low cloud base, significant weather, visibility and wind.

from 1990 to 2021 has been used to allow comparison to the most recent climatological reference period (Charting the UK;s changing climate - Met Office). Where this full period is not available, the maximum range is used using data from METARs recorded at each airfield. The number of observations

AI4 Climate explores and applies cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to advance climate science and deliver improved climate information more efficiently.

AI4 Climate is funded by the UK Government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) through the International Science Partnerships Fund (ISPF) and sits within the Met Office’s National Capability AI (NCAI) Programme.  The NCAI Programme demonstrates our commitment to embedding AI

when: “The colour of the new green leaves is just visible between the scales of the swollen or elongated bud” (https://www. woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/natures-calendar/). Phenological records, when combined with climate observations, provide long-term indicators of how plants and animals

. In addition to the main site, three outlying screens were erected to help record the micro-climate of the area during the Antarctic winter. Further to these base observations, still more were made on the ‘‘sledging’’ journeys away from base to either explore specific geographic areas or when in depots
