Professors and Academic Staff

Professor Sir Brian Hoskins CBE FRS

Research Interests:
Professor Hoskins is interested in increasing the understanding of weather systems and climate processes through theory, experimentation with a hierarchy of atmospheric models and diagnosis of analysed data from forecast centres.

Professor John Methven

Research Interests:

  • Dynamics of weather systems with emphasis on the evolution of extratropical and tropical cyclones, jet streams, Rossby waves and equatorial waves
  • Predictability of the atmosphere including the dependence of high impact weather prediction on larger scale phenomena and the use of ensemble forecasting

Professor Theodore G. (Ted) Shepherd FRS

Research Interests:
Large-scale dynamics, circulation and variability, middle atmosphere dynamics, theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics

Professor Maarten Ambaum

Research Interests:
Atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics, statistics

Dr. Christopher O’Reilly

Research Interests:
Dynamics of the Earth’s climate system. Broadly focusing on understanding mechanisms of climate variability and change, as well as the predictability of future climate, across a range of timescales.

Dr. David Brayshaw

Research Interests:
Large-scale atmospheric circulation, impacts of climate change and variability on energy systems

Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez

Research Interests:
Stratospheric dynamics and stratosphere-troposphere coupling, sub-seasonal predictability, climate impacts on health

Dr. Thomas (Tom) Frame

Research Interests:
Mid-latitude dynamics, Rossby waves, predictability

Dr. Remi Tailleux

Professor Paul D. Williams

Research Interests:
Geophysical fluid dynamics, turbulence, jet streams, waves, climate, aviation, numerical modelling
