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
