Proud to be part of the new #ClimateAmbassadors scheme announced by @educationgovuk The scheme aims to help all nurseries, schools and colleges in England have climate action plans in place by 2025. But we need volunteer experts to help make it happen. rdg.ac/4as3UJl

Our new paper in Int. J. Climatol. uses sub-hourly resolution rain data from 1279 gauges for GB to identify >70,000 rainstorms with ann max intensities. Our results challenge independence assumptions used in stat modelling of rainfall extremes in EVT. rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.co…

The creation and climatology of a large independent rainfall event database for Great Britain

Conventional analyses of annual maximum (AM) rainfall use fixed event durations. A new dataset of independent events with flexible durations shows that AMs with different fixed durations (e.g., 1-h...

NEW PAPER uploaded to our ScienceBrief on Arctic amplification: sciencebrief.org/topics/clim… This study explains the combined effects of: - aerosol emissions, - greenhouse gas emissions, - internal climate variability, in causing periods of cooling and recent Arctic amplification

Our new @theAGU GRL study is now out. We investigate the 'Recent Emergence of Arctic Amplification' in the past century of the observational record. Using a large ensemble, we explore why Arctic Amplification didn't occur for much of the past century doi.org/10.1029/2021GL094086
