Climate Mount Agung and its potential global impacts 29 November 2017 Since mid-November, Mount Agung on the Indonesian Island of Bali has been emitting steam and ash, lava is visible in the crater and rivers of mud have been flowing down its sides. In the Spotlight 2017 Hurricanes and Aerosols Simulation 15 November 2017 NASA have produced a very impressive visualisation showing aerosols and hurricanes Climate Greenhouse gas concentrations hit new record 31 October 2017 The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have released their annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin. In the Spotlight WMO: 2017 records 30 October 2017 WMO's provisional State of the Climate report shows how the heat was turned up in 2017. Weather Elvis is alive and well and in Porthcawl 26 September 2017 At the weekend I was in Porthcawl in Wales at an Elvis festival. 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.
