SUMMARY:Royal Meteorological Society Masterclass: Extracting Causal Information from Climate Data
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Marlene Kretschmer\, University of Reading \nThere are large uncertainties when it comes to predicting extreme regional weather and climate events. A limited causal understanding of the physical drivers of extremes – such as connections to the North Atlantic Oscillation or Madden-Julian Oscillation – compounds the issue when interpreting climate model forecasts. Yet\, to justify taking critical actions in the light of uncertainty\, explanations are crucial because they provide decision-makers with a level of plausibility. \nTherefore\, weather and climate forecasting progress strongly depend on an improved causal understanding of the climate system by analysing the large data sets from observations and climate models. A physical knowledge of the underlying mechanisms and different statistical techniques is needed. \nIn this talk\, Dr Kretschmer will show how recent causality research advancements can help reconcile the two. A causal approach requires explicitly including expert knowledge in the statistical analysis\, allowing for quantitative conclusions. This session will illustrate some of the key concepts of this theory with concrete examples of well-known atmospheric teleconnections and will discuss the particular challenges and advantages these imply for climate science. \nAbout RMetS and University of Reading Meteorological Masterclasses \nContinuing our online Meteorological Masterclasses in partnership with the University of Reading\, we are pleased to announce a new Masterclass series in “Advances in weather and climate forecasting”. \nDuring this series\, three leading experts from the University of Reading will discuss the latest scientific advances for understanding and predicting weather\, climate and its impacts. Topics to be covered include data assimilation and machine learning; identification of causal pathways in atmospheric teleconnections; and modelling advances in resolution and parameterization for weather forecasting. \nThese masterclasses are intended to provide support for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science\, and its operational applications who wish to remain up to date on recent scientific developments in the field. \nMasterclasses will run weekly on Wednesday’s 16th\, 23rd and 30th March 2022 from 3 pm to 4.30 pm (UTC)\, consisting of a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. Whilst the webinars are part of a series\, attendance at all three events is not compulsory.

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

SUMMARY:Meteorological Masterclass: Heatwaves and Climate Change in Urban Microclimates
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 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. \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. \n  \nWednesday 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. \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:Webinar: Indicators of changing climate risk in the UK - Professor Nigel Arnall
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend here \nAbstract: \nIn order to increase resilience to climate change it is necessary to understand climate risks and how they are likely to change in the future. This seminar presents a summary of the Climate Risk Indicators project (involving the University of Reading\, CEH Wallingford and the University of Leeds)\, which is calculating a series of indicators relevant to policymakers in the UK at national and local levels. The selected indicators represent a range of thresholds for decisions and consequences across many sectors\, including water resources\, flooding\, transport\, health\, agriculture and emergency planning. The indicators are calculated with UKCP18 climate projections\, and presented both for low and high emissions and at different levels of forcing\, and are presented at a range of spatial scales. The seminar will describe the indicators and their uses in policy.  \nThis is the first in a series of webinars organised by the UK Climate Resilience Programme – see the full programme.
