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
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.
and/or observational records, and so cannot take into account changes in feedbacks and processes in the climate system as the ice cover declines. Therefore climate models remain our most robust tool for investigating future change. References Vaughan, D.G., et. al 2013: Observations: Cryosphere
Climate risk report for the Sahel region
The climate risk report for the Sahel region is part of a series of regional climate risk reports the Met Office has produced in collaboration with ODI and commissioned by FCDO to provide evidence to the UK Government in support of adaptation and resilience planning and investments. The Climate
Our climate, cryosphere and ocean scientists
Dr Lesley Allison Lesley works on understanding the ocean’s role in climate variability and change, with a focus on ocean heat content and sea level Dr Rosa Barciela Rosa leads the research and development of the operational marine ecosystems and sediment modelling systems Dr Mike Bell Mike
Projects in Africa Why Africa needs improved climate information Rapid population growth and development in Sub-Saharan Africa are increasing the region’s vulnerability to climate variability and change. Weather extremes have the capacity to impact on people’s lives, threatening infrastructure
The annual state of the Climate report highlights 2017 as one of the top three warmest years on record.
An international analysis of the global climate of 2017 has been published in the annual report, ‘State of the Climate in 2017’ released yesterday by the American Meteorological Society. The report highlights that 2017 is among the top three warmest years for global temperature since records began
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
Climate science involves the development of climate datasets based on observations; the use of these datasets in climate change monitoring and attribution and the use of Earth System Models to make future predictions from months to centuries into the future. Most recent Hadley Centre Technical
The Met Office Climate Services Week 2022 is taking place from 9-13 May. The inaugural event was held in 2017.
Why are we hosting Climate Services Week? We want to celebrate the great progress our climate services and science communities have made during recent years in understanding decision-making requirements and turning the science into useable and useful tools and information. This is helping people
