The next five years of ground breaking science for the Met Office

Oct 05, 2015

 

The Met Office has released its new five year Science Strategy outlining its plans for weather and climate science 2016-2021.

This strategy aims to deliver science with impact, maximising the benefit to society of our weather and climate expertise, and making the most of the UK government's investment in Met Office high performance computing.

Professor Dame Julia Slingo , Met Office Chief Scientist, said: "Our science underpins the weather and climate services that we deliver to protect the public, help businesses and advise government.

"The drivers behind the new science strategy will focus on improving prediction systems across all timescales from hours to decades, and from the global to the local, so everyone can make the most of the opportunities presented by knowing what the weather and climate will do, both now and as our climate changes."
