West, H., Quinn, N., & Horswel, M. (2023, April). Atmospheric circulations and drought conditions in British catchments: Highlighting the role of the East Atlantic pattern. Paper presented at European Geosciences Union General Assembly, 2023, Vienna, Austria

Drought events are influenced by a combination of both climatic and local catchment characteristics. In Great Britain the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has long been recognised as the leading mode of climate variability, and studies have also note...

Chun, K., Ezber, Y., Toker, E., Reboita, M., Rocha, R., Risanto, B., …Castro, C. (2023, April). Investigating links among heatwaves, precipitation, and land use types using the convection-permitting model in the Southwest UK for the 2022 boreal summer

To improve sub-seasonal forecasts, different global initiatives generate continental convection-permitting simulations for resolution less than 10 kilometres for multiple decades. These simulations, however, are based on land use maps with only singl...

It has long been understood that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a key driver of regional climate in Great Britain and across Europe. However, studies have also noted that there is spatio-temporal variability in NAO-rainfall signatures which...
