Now published - Our joint DARC - Data Assimilation Research Centre & NERC NCEO work with Met Office Science, led by Azin Wright, on atmosphere-ocean cross-correlations in the Met Office system. rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/qj…

Why does no-one ever teach you the one key skill needed for grant writing - How to edit slightly too long text to make it fit the word limit?! (Am I allowed to hyphenate these words ...?)

Very nice short video introducing the idea of data assimilation and its use in digital twins.

So on the last day of my holiday I discover I've been staying near the birthplace of French mathematician Gaspard Monge!

🎉 Congrats to our colleague Space4Climate, Krupa Nanda Kumar for being named a Rising Star 2024 by Via Satellite! 🌟 A well-deserved recognition for her outstanding work in the UK climate & space sectors! 🌌 Check it out: tinyurl.com/ycx5fu7x #RisingStars2024 #UKSpace

Five PhD students from Reading Meteorology have played an important role in a new @MetOffice study that could lead to improvements in hyper-local forecasts for heatwaves in urban areas. Read more about our role in this first of its kind study: 🔗rdg.ac/4ds9LRi

Good to hear some sensible words from the new education secretary, welcoming international students to UK universities and keeping alive graduate visas.

On my way to York for the UK Earth Observation conference ukeo.org, organised by NERC NCEO and other organisations. Looking forward to hearing about all the different ways scientists use satellite data to understand and monitor the Earth's environment.

Laura Risley Laura Risley of SCENARIO DTP & NERC NCEO spoke at #UKEO2024 this morning about her work on the numerical implications of using new variables for ocean data assimilation, in joint work with Met Office Science and CERFACS

Reading ranked in the Top 25 UK universities by @TheTimes. Not content with the gong for Sustainable University of the Year, we also leapt, salmon-like, up to joint 24th (with King's College London) in the 2025 #GoodUniGuide. Here's part of the reason why 👉 rdg.ac/3mZLzgr

Data assimilation is crucial to modern-day numerical weather prediction as well as reconstructing historical weather systems. In this masterclass, Dr Alison Fowler will introduce data assimilation algorithms and discuss their advantages and limitations. rmets.org/event/mastercl…

We restart our DARC seminar series for the semester tomorrow. Our recent colleague Rishabh Bhatt will share his work on "Parallel in time algorithms for data assimilation" with us

I am excited that NERC NCEO has secured another 5 years of investment for its environmental science, allowing us to develop the science needed to translate Earth Observation data from satellites into societal benefit. reading.ac.uk/news/2024/Rese…

ISDA is a major annual data assimilation conference. It took place at RIKEN in Japan this year. Members of DARC attended this conference. See our latest blog. research.reading.ac.uk/met-darc/2024/…

We are delighted to congratulate Professor Martin Wooster, NCEO Divisional Director and Professor of Earth Observation Science at King's College London and Kings-NCEO: Earth Obs & Wildfire Research Group, on being awarded an #MBE in the King’s 2025 New Year’s Honours list - read more 👉shorturl.at/6MmIf

I'll be talking in this session later today on the role of data assimilation in Earth system digital twins #AMS2025

I've finally moved over to the other platform. Follow me at Amos Lawless.bsky.social
