The Forecasting Development branch investigates how
to solve customer problems through research and development
(R&D;) work. The most active area for R&D; is defence
meteorology, but civil aviation and flood prevention
are also important issues.
Forecasting Development managers hold regular meetings
to review the progress of development projects, such
as those involved with automated forecasting or the
production of forecast products for a specific customer.
A recent example looked at progress on improving the
prediction of icy roads for next winter.
Other work has involved research into aircraft icing
or rainfall prediction, through to forecasting applications,
such as ocean wave models or the icy road model.
