I am Professor of Meteorology, within the
National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS)
at the University of Leeds. I have a joint position between the
Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS;
part of the
School of Earth and Environment), and the
School of Mathematics.
I also have an adjunct position at
NORCE Climate in Bergen [NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS].
