MASTERCLASS | European Climate Variability and Uncertainty in Climate Model Projections
LOCATION
Virtual - Hosted on Zoom
Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are already having a notable impact on European climate but there is also substantial uncertainty about how the climate of Europe will change over the coming decades. In this talk I will discuss model projections of 21st century European climate, particularly highlighting features that we should have confidence in, as well as sources of uncertainty in the climate projections and links to underlying physical mechanisms. I will also outline some recent developments in constraining future projections using observations and their implications.
Speaker
Christopher O'Reilly, University of Reading
Christopher O’Reilly is a scientist who is interested in the dynamics of the Earth’s climate system. His research broadly focuses on understanding mechanisms of climate variability and change, as well as the predictability of future climate, across a range of timescales. He studied for an undergraduate degree and a PhD at Imperial College London and since graduating has held postdoctoral research positions at Hokkaido University (in Japan) and the University of Oxford.
He is currently a Royal Society University Research Fellow based at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading.

Masterclass Series Abstract
Continuing our online Meteorological Masterclasses in partnership with the University of Reading, we are pleased to announce a new Masterclass series in Winter Storms & Euro Atlantic Climate
During this series, three leading experts from the University of Reading will discuss the latest scientific advances for understanding and predicting weather, climate, and its impacts. Topics to be covered include North Atlantic and European cyclones – evolution, processes and predictability, the role of the jet stream in weather, predictability and climate and European climate variability and uncertainty in climate model projections.
These masterclasses are intended to provide support for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science, and its operational applications who wish to remain up to date on recent scientific developments in the field.
Masterclasses will run weekly on Wednesday 26th October, 2nd November and 9th November from 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm (UTC), consisting of a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. Whilst the webinars are part of a series, attendance at all three events is not compulsory.
Sessions will be available as videos for any member who has registered but cannot attend registered with an option to email questions up to one week after the date of them going live.
