• This project is positioned at the frontier of the next generation of AI tools for weather forecasting and regional climate model downscaling. Through this project, not only will we gain a greater understanding of extreme weather events, but also the implications on our daily lives. The output of this work has the potential to feed into powerful decision-making tools for policymakers working to solve climate mitigation and adaptation problems.

• You design and conduct experiments to further our understanding of how well we currently can capture the forecast of extreme events and go further to improve the skill of these AI models.  

• You will collaborate with scientists from the UK Met Office and National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) with the opportunity to work on site through placements. Furthermore, this project provides you the opportunity to join the international activities within AI4Climate, the Global Energy and Water Exchanges (GEWEX) community and the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (CCI).
