The post holder is responsible for their own grant funded research project within the predictability and climate risk area, contributing to the NCAS National Capability Long Term Science – Single Centre programmes. Over the past decade, the science of extreme weather and climate event attribution has developed rapidly, to the extent that the results of rapid attribution analyses are now regularly seen in the media following impactful meteorological extremes. There exists a number of different ways to approach the questions of how climate change has affected the intensity or probability of an individual weather event. Recent work in AOPP has suggested that rather than using unconditioned climate model simulations, we should instead use initialised numerical weather forecast models - on very short lead times, where the forecast is highly constrained by the initial conditions the situation is analogous to the storyline approach, whilst as the lead time increases, the framing tends towards the probabilistic approach. The role involves working with ECMWF’s operational ensemble forecasting system and performing attribution exp…
