| Hadley Centre |
| The Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Change provides a focus in
the UK for the scientific issues associated with climate change.
|
|
| NCAS - National Centre for Atmospheric Science |
| The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) is a Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Collaborative Centre. The role of NCAS is to provide the UK with national capability (i.e. stable, long-term and broad) in atmospheric science research. NCAS also provides research outcomes for government policy-making and for the wider UK science base.
|
|
| NCAS-CMS - National Centre for Atmospheric Science Computational Modelling Services |
| NCAS-CMS provides information services and support for modelling in the NCAS community.
|
|
| NERC - Natural Environment Research Council |
| The Natural Environment Research Council delivers independent research,
survey, training and knowledge transfer in the environmental sciences,
to advance knowledge of planet Earth as a complex, interacting system.
|
|
| QUEST - Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System |
| QUEST
assimilates information and expertise from many programmes and
institutions in and outside the UK. Its unique focus is on highly
effective, interdisciplinary research, closely targeted to help deliver
a substantial improvement in the prediction of global environmental
change.
|
|
| UJCC - UK Japan Climate Collaboration |
| The aim of the UJCC project is to exploit the power of the Earth Simulator to produce world-leading climate simulations.
|
|
| UK HiGEM |
| HiGEM is a national UK programme in ‘Grand Challenge' high resolution
modelling of the global environment between NERC and the Hadley Centre
of the Met Office. In a three year programme (2004-2006), the new Met
Office climate model will be taken to unprecedented resolutions. This
will achieve a major advance in the fidelity of simulations of the
global environment, and improve understanding of mechanisms of
climate variability and change on timescales of days to centuries.

| Walker Institute |
| The Walker Institute for Climate System Research brings together the
unrivalled breadth and depth of climate expertise that exists within
the University of Reading.
