Observation-based research scientists
Our observation-based research scientists
- Dr Justin Langridge
Justin is in charge of observational research for improving the representation of physical processes in weather forecasting and climate prediction models.
- Dr Steven Abel
Steven manages the Cloud Physics and Aerosol group, working on observational and numerical modelling studies using measurements from the FAAM BAe146 research aircraft.
- Dr Anthony J. Baran
Anthony studies how electromagnetic radiation interacts with particulates suspended in the Earth's atmosphere with an emphasis on ice crystal clouds or cirrus.
- Dr Paul Barrett
Paul is a leading airborne research scientist with a wealth of experience measuring clouds, aerosols, turbulence and convection. He designs and conducts field campaigns, collecting datasets in order to improve numerical models.
- Philip R.A. Brown
Phil leads the Met Office collaboration with European partners in airborne research through the EUFAR international association.
-
Bernard improves the Met Office's NWP capability through the gathering and analysis of boundary-layer meteorological observations.
- Dr Richard Cotton
Richard studies cloud microphysics focusing on ice nucleation and ice-phase evolution, using data obtained from the FAAM BAe146 research aircraft.
- Dr Stephan Havemann
Stephan works on the development of new methods for fast radiative transfer and is also involved in the development of fast variational retrieval codes.
- Dr Amanda Kerr-Munslow
Amanda uses surface and balloon-borne instruments to observe and study cloud and radiation processes, so as to improve their representation in Numerical Weather Prediction forecast models.
- Rob King
Rob manages the Instrumentation group which designs, builds and provides technical support for Met Office instrumentation on the FAAM 146 research aircraft.
- Dr Simon Osborne
Simon uses ground-based instruments to observe and better understand aerosol, cloud and radiation processes, so as to improve NWP forecast models.
- Dr Jeremy Price
Jeremy manages the Met Office boundary layer observational research programme in support of developing better Met Office weather services.
- Dave Tiddeman
Dave supports airborne atmospheric research by providing programming skills and IT knowledge to optimise the use of the FAAM BAe146 aircraft and its data.
- Andy Wilson
Andy works on the design, manufacture, maintenance and operation of the Met Office instrumentation aboard the FAAM BAe146 research aircraft.
