  1. Welcome to the University of Reading Meteorology Day2014 “How do we predict the weather?”

  2. Established in 1892, Received Royal Charter in 1926. • Around 19,000 full and part-time students • 20% International Students from over 150 countries. • Over 4,000 staff across all departments • Approx 250 different subjects and combinations of subjects ranging from Sciences, Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences • Science subjects are very popular and include biological sciences, chemistry, food science, microbiology, electronic engineering, meteorology, cybernetics • Masters and PhD programmes are available

  3. Emergencies On hearing the fire alarm make your way to the nearest available safe exit route and leave the building without delay. The fire assembly point is located at the far side of the car park in front of the Department.

  4. How do we predict the weather and climate? ?

  5. How do we predict the weather and climate? • What is a prediction? • What is the difference between weather and climate?

  6. Step 1: Find out how the atmosphere works • Fluids Experiment

  7. Step 2: Make some observations of the atmosphere

  8. Step 3: Make some predictions

  9. Verify and Improve Simulation
