SUMMARY:Meteorological Masterclass: Representing Convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its Implications
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 10 March 2021: Representing convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its implications\nProfessor Bob Plant\, University of Reading \nThe forecasting of convective precipitation remains among the most challenging and mosst stubborn problems in meteorology. In this talk\, Bob will review the fundamental scientific challenges\, discuss recent progress and advances being made in this field\, and highlight some of the implications for operational forecasting. \nPart of the University of Reading /Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass Series: Anticipating floods\, droughts and heatwaves. Other dates include: \nWednesday 24 February 2021: Flood forecasting hours to months ahead\nDr Linda Speight: University of Reading \nThis Masterclass will discuss the very latest work in probabilistic hydrometeorological forecasting – hours to months ahead – and the use and communication of flood forecasts to support decision-making. It will look at how well we can forecast floods at a range of scales and how we can balance lead time and uncertainty to answer the important operational question “when and where will impact occur?”. It will also cover how flood forecasting can be used in locations with limited data to support early action and will close with a discussion on what the future research directions are for flood forecasting. \nWednesday 24 March 2021: Heatwaves and climate change in urban microclimates\nProfessor Sue Grimmond\, University of Reading \nThe focus of this talk is on heatwaves and how urban areas can exacerbate their impact because of the well-known canopy layer urban heat island effects\, and why cities and their residents are particularly vulnerable. Impacts of heatwaves have been very significant if people are not appropriately prepared (as witnessed during the 2003 heatwave across Europe). Attention will be directed to the important impact of scale and an understanding of the dynamics of urban climate\, challenges in predictions and advance warning\, and strategies and interventions for heat stress mitigation. \nAbout the series\nThese masterclasses are intended to provide additional training for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational application. \nEach masterclass webinar will run from 3pm to 4.30pm\, starting with a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. While the webinars are part of a series\, delegates can choose which seminars they attend (attendance at all three is not compulsory). \nRegistration:  Member: £20.00 | Non-member: £25.00 \nLast year we welcomed 542 delegates throughout the series – view all three seminars on the RMetSoc YouTube channel here. \n

SUMMARY:ECR Dragons' Den
DESCRIPTION:ECR Dragons’ Den – Monday 29th March 15.30-17.00 \nDo you have a really great idea for a collaborative project? Have you been planning to write a grant but don’t have the pilot data to support your idea? Here is your big chance!  \nThe ECR interdisciplinary group CINNergies\, and the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences Research Committee have each donated £2\,500 (that’s a total of £5\,000) to support ECR-led collaborative pilot projects. Just like the real Dragons’ Den\, our panel of “Dragons” will be sitting on piles of money (figuratively) and will choose to support the projects they feel have potential. \nProjects must be collaborative and interdisciplinary! So\, if there is a project that you’ve got your heart set on and you know of another ECR that you’ve been dying to work with… the time is now!! Spaces are limited so if you would like to apply\, please submit a 500 word summary of your project proposal here. Applications will close on the 15th March at 12pm. \nThose who are selected to go through to the next round will be required to give a short oral presentation at the event 15:30-17:00 on Monday 29th March. \nClick here to join the Dragons’ Den event
