Hello from Reading . Since 2001, I've been working at Reading University Department of Meteorology (not to be confused with Metrology or Meteoritics). I work within NCAS Climate, the National Centre for Atmospheric Science: Climate Directorate and the Walker Institute.
I work with Rowan in the Atlantic European Climate Group.
I'm interested in decadal climate variabilty - with a particular focus on the Atlantic ocean and Europe.
I previously worked on PREDICATE
and
Before all this, I was an itinerant theoretical physicist |

Current WorkI'm currently examining MOC variability within the HiGEM and HadGEM control runs.Plot ArchiveThis archive contains some of my recent analysis.It uses a perl script called parc - more about that here.
Animations ArchiveSometimes it's useful to to look at fields evolving in time! (this requires java.) |

HowTo..There are a few pages I've written on HOW TO do things, they're mainly to remind me, but you could even find them useful too.
You can find more HOWTOs on our group page here.

If you're looking for information of how to use the MetOffice Unified Model then the CGAM UM Wiki would be a good place to start. If you're trying to extract data from a UM model run on HPCX - then you might find this tool useful.
Ferret is my plotting package of choice. It's very flexible and allows you to produce complex plots very quickly. There's a local copy of the manual here. Search the Ferret mailing list archive for answers to those tricky ferret problems! Org is a simple perl script for organising meetings:
