正文(英文) | The second session in this year’s Meteorological Masterclass Series - ‘Anticipating floods, droughts and heatwaves’, with the University of Reading, takes place on Wednesday 10 March (3-4.30pm). The topic is ‘Representing convection in Numerical Weather Prediction models and its implications’, which will be presented by Prof. Bob Plant, Professor of Meteorology, University of Reading. The forecasting of convective precipitation remains among the most challenging and most stubborn problems in meteorology. In this talk, Bob will review the fundamental scientific challenges, discuss recent progress and advances being made in this field, and highlight some of the implications for operational forecasting. Climate models and global-scale numerical weather prediction treat convection through a parameterzation. This session will look at some of the key ideas and recent and ongoing improvements with this approach. The diurnal cycle, for example, has been much improved in many models. As computational resources have increased, an important development over recent years has been the increased use of high-resolution simulations that do not require the use of a convective parameterization. These have become common for short-range forecasting and their outputs typically present us with a picture that is rich in detail. Although the high resolution brings benefits, we now need to ask how realistic the details are and how far should we rely upon them. Prof. Bob Plant took his undergraduate degree in Physics at Oxford and did his PhD in particle physics at Manchester. He then worked for British Nuclear Fuels, making risk assessments of the long-term evolution of disposal sites for low-level radioactive waste. Bob moved into meteorology during a postdoctoral position at Queen Mary College in London, when he researched into anomalous radar propagation. This led him to a second postdoctoral position on extratropical storms, in Reading in 2001. Since then he has stayed put, developing various research interests in convective storms and boundary layer meteorology, especially in developing new approaches for modelling these phenomena and assessing the model results. He has made his way through the ranks to become a professor in atmospheric convection and joint head of the Meteorology department. These masterclasses are intended to provide additional training for professionals working in Meteorology and Climate Science, and its operational application. Each masterclass consists of a presentation followed by the opportunity for questions and discussion with the speaker. Video recordings will be made available to people who have registered and paid to attend within a few days of the event. There will also be an option to ask the speakers questions via email for one week after the video goes live.
