Climate experts from the Met Office, Newcastle University and the University of Bristol used European-wide km-scale simulations to model future changes to hail with global warming. Published in the journal Nature Communications, the study shows that, under a high-emissions scenario (RCP8.5), severe hail is likely to become less common, except potentially for very large hail. Severe […]
The peer-reviewed research, published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, assesses the viability of applying a machine learning (ML) weather model to global seasonal forecasts, which are vital for understanding global weather patterns. Seasonal forecasts, which look at the likely conditions for the next three months, can provide valuable insights for long-term planning and decision […]
