Climate monitoring
and climate data sets
The Hadley Centre receives, quality controls, and archives
large amounts of observed climate data. These are used for
monitoring the climate, in studies of the causes of climate
change, and in climate modelling.
Types
of climate models used in the Hadley Centre
Our detailed three-dimensional representations of major components
of the climate system are mostly run on the Met Office's NEC
SX-6 supercomputers. We use these models in various different
configurations.
Climate
change projections
Key results from climate-change experiments conducted using
Hadley Centre computer models of the climate system.
Carbon
cycle
The role of the carbon cycle in climate change, how the
models represent it, and what the results are when these
models are included in climate change simulations.
| Who
carries out the research? |
Met Office's Hadley Centre research is organised into several
themes, each with a theme manager. You can contact
theme managers and other research staff
The majority of publications
by staff at the Hadley Centre (often in collaboration
with authors from other institutions) appear in books, brochures,
peer-reviewed scientific journals, and conference proceedings.
Opportunities exist for scientists from UK and non-UK institutes
to undertake collaborative research for periods of up to
a year. More
