The Dynamics and Clouds Cluster comprises around 40 members, including academics, postdoctoral researchers, and postgraduate students. The cluster addresses several grand challenges: understanding physical processes in kilometre-scale and AI-based forecasting, investigating extreme weather in current and future climates, and enhancing weather and climate services in the Global South with a focus on international development.
Current activities include transdisciplinary collaborations across health, agriculture, social sciences, engineering, mathematics, computing, and the humanities. The cluster is also driving innovation through flood forecasting tools, the FASTA app, and AI model development. In operational forecasting, efforts are focused on model development, forecaster training, testbeds, and co-production with users.
Colleagues interested in collaboration are encouraged to speak with the cluster lead, Professor Doug Parker, or any member of the team, as the group actively engages in interdisciplinary work with partners such as NCAS, various Met Offices, and UKCEH.
