Undertaking research and development into observations processing, data assimilation and ensemble forecasting , with a particular focus on forecasts of severe weather over the UK.
The Numerical Modelling section provides the interface between scientific model developers and operational forecast production.
Developing forecasts of ocean dynamics, waves and ecosystems.
We are constantly improving the way we use established satellite observations for weather and climate applications, and preparing for the use of new measurements from space.
Observations Research and Development is responsible for developing new measurement capability and observational products for the Met Office and delivering these into operations.
Working across a diverse range of disciplines, we provide consultancy and tools that convert our weather data into information that directly supports customer decision-making.
Weather science
Weather Science provides the forecasting capabilities that are used for routine operational short to medium range forecasting of the weather, the oceans and their impacts.
Activities include processing and assimilation of observations; developing forecast suite infrastructure; forecast evaluation; and optimisation of forecasts through post-processing. Weather Science also carries out research into improving ocean models and the dispersion model used for operational emergency response. Impacts research is focused on hazards such as flooding, air quality, windstorms and bathing water quality.
