Chaotic Convection
By Todd Jones In the traditional global climate model (GCM) configuration, models simulate atmospheric motions explicitly on spatial grids with spacings on the order of 100 km. Motions on finer scales are not directly simulated. Instead, we use parameterizations, some … Continue reading

Impacts of climate variability and change on the energy sector: A case study for winter 2009/10
By Emma Suckling Secure and reliable energy supplies are an essential part of modern economic life. But the national and global infrastructures that deliver energy are changing rapidly in the face of new and unprecedented challenges, including the need to … Continue reading
Exploring the impact of the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV)
By Dan Hodson After 140 years of observations, we now know that the temperature of the surface of the Atlantic ocean slowly varied over time, cooling and warming over periods of decades (Figure 1). These slow variations in temperature sit … Continue reading
