  2. Early Morning • The day started by meeting at college at 6.30 am. We then drove down to Manchester airport, ready to fly down to Exceter.

  3. In Exeter When we arrived in Exeter, we had transport arranged. We started the day in Exeter by going to the University first, then to the Met Office.

  4. The University When we arrived at the university, we were taken to the maths department Where we met some of the professors and had some refreshments.

  5. We then had a tour of the university, given by a student that attended. The tour was mainly of the grounds and accommodation, as there was not enough time to see all the separate departments. The University of Exeter has two campuses in Exeter and in Cornwall.

  6. After our tour of the university, we had a talk about the weather. The talk showed the governing equations which are used to predict weather, how the formulas are created, the characters of atmospheric flow, and the models in spherical geometry.
