Climate Larsen C: Giant iceberg breaks off Antarctic peninsula 21 July 2017 On 12th July, satellite data confirmed the ‘calving’ of a trillion-tonne, 5,800 sq km iceberg from the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsula. Climate Seven climate change hotspots 26 June 2017 An article in The Guardian explores 7 climate change ‘hot spots’ – key parts of the world where climate change could have devastating effects, be it the impact of hurricanes, heatwaves, drought or flooding. In the Spotlight Why does pressure fall off more slowly in warm air than cold air? 20 June 2017 There are two questions here. The first is does pressure fall off more slowly in warm air than cold air? In the Spotlight The jet stream: chicken or egg? 19 June 2017 Does the position of the warm and cold upper air masses determine the route of the jet stream, or does the jet stream determine the position of the cold and warm upper air masses? Which is the chicken and which the egg? In the Spotlight Spinning up enthusiasm for meteorology 27 March 2017 There is very little that is certain about climate change and tornadoes. In the Spotlight Let’s twist again like we did last summer 27 March 2017 In a talk I was giving last week on the physics of thunderstorms, to a joint meeting of the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Engineering and Technology, I could not resist mentioning tornadoes. In the Spotlight Mike Olbinski - Storm Chaser 27 March 2017 Mike Olbinski was born in 1975 in Glendale, Arizona and has lived in the general Phoenix area his entire life. He is married with three children. In this article, Mike explains where his passion for storm chasing and photography originates from Climate Scientists test reefs to counter climate change 27 March 2017 Heatwaves, extreme storms and polar ice losses are often discussed as examples of the effects of climate change. ‘Hidden’ impacts occurring in the ocean may go overlooked, yet they can be some of the most disastrous. In the Spotlight Abrupt climate change: North Atlantic could cool sooner and faster than predicted 27 March 2017 Residents of north-west Europe currently enjoy a climate that is around 5°C warmer than other regions of the same latitude thanks to the Gulf Stream which carries warmth from Florida to European shores.
