Royal Meteorological Society Talk
Date: Tuesday 18 February 2014
Time: 18:00 (17.40 for refreshments)
Location: Manchester Metropolitan University, C0.14, John Dalton Building, Chester Street, Manchester, M1 5GD
Speaker: Dr Chris Dearden, University of Manchester
Title:
Through the wind and the rain: New insights into high impact weather affecting the UK
Abstract:
Damaging winds and heavy precipitation in Western Europe are associated primarily with large-scale storms approaching from the North Atlantic. Such high impact weather events often manifest themselves as smaller features embedded within the storm, e.g. fronts. Although we can forecast the timing of a frontal passage well nowadays, the details of precisely when and where the most intense precipitation and strongest winds will occur remain extremely difficult to forecast accurately.
In this presentation, Dr. Chris Dearden will talk about his involvement in the DIAMET campaign, a UK-based field project whose aim is to advance our understanding of severe weather phenomena within large-scale storms. Chris will focus on the role of cloud processes and the importance of snow and ice, and how we are using the results from DIAMET to help improve our ability to forecast the weather on the scale of counties rather than countries.
As always, the meeting is free and open to all without registration.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Slight changes this Wednesday
Hi everyone taking 6F7Z3003 (Science unit),
There has been a slight change to the usual programme this coming Wednesday 5th February – because of an undergraduate Visit Day event.
Coffee (3-4pm) will now take place in E423 rather than the usual E402
The 4-6pm slot will take place in the 4th floor PC lab (E409)
Unfortunately…we may have to share the E409 lab with some Visit Day visitors (A’ level students and their parents!)…but the MAGICC software is only installed in E409 so there is no workaround. Apologies for this.
Cheers
Mark
