Weather How to interpret a weather chart 23 August 2021 Ever looked at a synoptic or pressure chart and felt a bit lost? They can seem a bit daunting at first, what with all the different coloured lines, semicircles and triangles; but they are actually quite simple to interpret. And once you’ve got the hang of them, you’ll be able to tell at a glance what our weather is up to. In the Spotlight Weather Martian Meteorology 16 August 2021 Mars, one of our nearest neighbours, is a fascinating, alien world. With NASA hoping for human missions to Mars in the 2030s, what kind of weather could visiting Earthlings expect? Weather When is air stable or unstable ? 01 February 2021 Meteorologists often talk about the atmosphere being either stable or unstable. But what does this mean? Climate Climate Modelling 15 December 2020 How is Earth’s climate modelled and how does modelling help our understanding? Climate What is El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)? 04 November 2020 How can the sea temperature in the Pacific change the weather across the World? Weather Is the jet stream weakening? 23 September 2020 What is the jet stream and how does it have such an impact on our weather? Simon Lee reminds us. Climate Global Atmospheric Circulation 04 August 2020 The weather we get on earth is driven by the sun’s energy; the atmosphere is heated by the sun and spun by the rotation of the earth. Weather A Change in the Weather? 29 January 2020 The last few months have been strangely mild across the UK. Temperatures in December and January were well above average and people have been asking "what happened to winter?" Climate Floods, Bushfires and the Indian Ocean Dipole 04 December 2019 The recent horrendous bush fires in Australia and the extensive flooding in East Africa are likely to have the same root cause – the Indian Ocean Dipole.
