Thanks Len Shaffrey for the great overview of the upcoming Natural Environment Research Council project CANARI, aimed at advancing understanding of the impacts on the UK arising from climate variability and change in the Arctic-North Atlantic.
A new paper by me, @reinhardkh, Alex Baker, Len Shaffrey, @KieranBhatia and Kevin Hodges was published in MWR today! We look at why some post-tropical cyclones reach Europe but others don't: doi.org/10.1175/MWR-D-… Press release: reading.ac.uk/news/2022/Rese…
Can climate models help us understand how European post-tropical storms (such as Storm Ophelia) might change in the future? A new paper authored by Elliott Sainsbury Elliott Sainsbury wcd.copernicus.org/articles/3/135… @reinhardkh Alex Baker @KieranBhatia Len Shaffrey
Storm Otto, which hit the UK last weekend, was the first named storm in the 22/23 winter season. I've written an article at the The Conversation on why it's been nearly a year since the last named storms (Dudley, Eunice and Franklin) hit the UK in Feb 2022 theconversation.com/why-the-uk-has…
