Air Pollution in Urban Areas
Urban areas are one of the biggest challenges in understanding air pollution. They are densely populated, and contain many different pollution sources.

Air Pollution
Air pollution is closely linked to climate and weather. It is important that our air pollution measurements and forecasts take these types of events int…

The health effects of air pollution include asthma, strokes and cancers. We support studies looking at the health effects of air pollution.
Climate and High-impact Weather
Large-scale modes of variability can be described as common patterns in our climate. They are often the reason behind extreme weather events, like storms.
Climate and High-impact Weather
Cyclonic storms can produce extreme winds, heavy rainfall and coastal flooding. They are one of the most destructive weather systems on earth.
Climate and High-impact Weather
Cold spells, heatwaves, and droughts are examples of long lasting high-impact weather events. These types of persistent weather events have a huge socia…
Long-term Global Change
Climate projections help us to understand how the earth’s climate will change in the future.
Long-term Global Change
Aerosols are tiny particles that are suspended in the atmosphere. They can be solid or liquid, and they have a big impact on the world’s climate.
Long-term Global Change
Our atmosphere is made up of many different gases. The most common gases are nitrogen, oxygen and argon. But, the exact amount of each gas is always cha…
Long-term Collaborations
Future impacts, risks, and mitigation actions (TerraFIRMA) is assessing a range of mitigation strategies and will provide reliable guidance on the impac…
Long-term Collaborations
Forecasting African Storms Application (FASTA) brings near real-time weather information to East Africa.
Long-term Collaborations
Climate change in the Arctic – North Atlantic region and impacts on the UK (CANARI) is understanding how extreme weather will impact the UK and be shape…
We set out how we think ambitiously in response to scientific challenges and identify the areas in which we will inform and influence solutions that assist business, policy makers and society.
Atmospheric science relies on huge observational and data facilities that only a national centre can provide. We provide four key services to the scientific community.
