🚨 New paper alert! ☁️

We define a diagnostic of convective entrainment in GCMs and investigate how this diagnosed value is connected to CAPE extremes and moist heatwaves in the tropics.

You can find our paper in WCD, co-written with Marty Singh.

Entrainment and the tropical tropospheric thermal structure in global climate models
Abstract. The observed relationship between stability and humidity in the tropical troposphere has been argued to be strongly influenced by moist convective entrainment (Palmer and Singh, 2024). In th...

🚨New paper on heatwaves in a net zero world 🚨

In our study, led by @sarahinscience.bsky.social, we find that the intensity, length and frequency of heatwaves do not return to pre-industrial levels under net zero - and in many regions barely improve at all.

Had a great time at the NCAS Climate Modelling Summer School in Cambridge this year! 🌏

Huge thanks to the organisers and all the wonderful speakers. Would highly recommend!
Hello from Cambridge!

We've just finished our Climate Modelling Summer School. It is an exciting two-week programme of lectures and practical work on climate models.

Thank you to everyone who came along to learn and network with our experts and with like-minded peers!
