was a collaboration between Cambridge University and the Met Office (Julian Hunt and Paul Mason) on 'Modelling the Nocturnal Boundary Layer'. He used large-eddy simulation and theoretical analysis to develop and extend our understanding of the stably-stratified atmospheric boundary layer and its

As we approach year-end, we’ve highlighted the most notable climate features of the year, including two all-time temperature records:  Warmest winter day on record: 21.2 °C recorded at Kew Garden on 26 February  Hottest day on record: 38.7 °C recorded at Cambridge University Botanic Gardens on 25

David joined the Met Office Hadley Centre in August 1993, after studying Maths at Cambridge University. David spent the first nine years working on detection and attribution of anthropogenic climate change. This period culminated in a PhD in 2001 on experimental design and statistical modelling

, Michael was a post-doctoral researcher at Cambridge University, where he initially studied global methane emissions and sinks, and then helped develop a lightweight ozone monitor based on a gas sensitive resistor. He completed a PhD in Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of York, where he also

(now Satellite and Surface Assimilation) team in 2007 after obtaining an MSc in Remote Sensing and Image Processing from Edinburgh University. Initially James worked on developing and improving algorithms to identify cloud-contaminated pixels in imagery from the MSG satellites. He has been working on the RTTOV model since 2010. As an undergraduate, James studied Maths at Cambridge University.    

of the Maths Tripos at the University of Cambridge in 1980, specialising in astrophysics and relativity theory, having previously graduated in Mathematics from the University of Southampton in 1979. External recognition Tim was jointly awarded the Norbert Gerbier-MUMM International Award by the two

to joining the Met Office Hadley Centre, she worked on tropospheric chemistry modelling as a post-doctoral research associate at Cambridge University. Before that, she did a PhD at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth using observations and modelling to study stratospheric dynamics. Fiona also has a first class honours degree in Experimental Physics and an MSc in Environmental Chemistry from the National University of Ireland, Galway and Cork, respectively.
