    Skilful prediction of Sahel summer rainfall on inter-annual and multi-year timescales

    Summer rainfall in the Sahel region of Africa exhibits one of the largest signals of climatic variability and with a population reliant on agricultural productivity, the Sahel is particularly vulnerable to maj...

    Selecting CMIP5 GCMs for downscaling over multiple regions

    The unprecedented availability of 6-hourly data from a multi-model GCM ensemble in the CMIP5 data archive presents the new opportunity to dynamically downscale multiple GCMs to develop high-resolution climate ...

    Impact of soil moisture initialisation and lateral boundary conditions on regional climate model simulations of the West African Monsoon

    In this study, we use the Met Office Hadley Centre regional climate model HadRM3P to investigate the relative impact of initial soil moisture (SM) and lateral boundary conditions (LBC) on simulations of the We...

    An intercomparison of regional climate simulations for Europe: assessing uncertainties in model projections

    Ten regional climate models (RCM) have been integrated with the standard forcings of the PRUDENCE experiment: IPCC-SRES A2 radiative forcing and Hadley Centre boundary conditions. The response over Europe, cal...

    Detection of anthropogenic climate change using an atmospheric GCM

     Atmosphere-only general circulation models are shown to be a useful tool for detecting an anthropogenic effect on climate and understanding recent climate change. Ensembles of atmospheric runs are all forced ...

    The global distribution of sources of atmospheric decadal variability and mechanisms over the tropical Pacific and southern North America

     Understanding natural atmospheric decadal variability is an important element of climate research, and here we investigate the geographic and seasonal diversity in the balance between its competing sources. D...

    Oceanic forcing of the wintertime North Atlantic Oscillation and European climate

    The weather over the North Atlantic Ocean, particularly in winter, is often characterized by strong eastward air-flow between the ‘Icelandic low’ and the ‘Azores high’, and by a ‘stormtrack’ of weather systems...

    Experimental Seasonal Forecasting of Tropical Rainfall at the UK Meteorological Office

    Research in several centres suggests that sea-surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) have a strong influence on seasonal circulation in the tropics (e.g. Nicholls 1987; Shukla and Fennessy 1988; Folland et al. ...
