Rowan Sutton
I am Director of Climate Research in the UK National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), based in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. I am also a member of the Walker Institute.
My personal research interests lie in understanding the role of ocean-atmosphere interactions in climate, climate variability, predictability and prediction, particularly in the Atlantic sector.
