Richard W. Jones

Richard completed his PhD at the University of East Anglia, focussing on weather and climate in West Antarctica. He joined the Met Office Regional Model Evaluation and Development team in 2020, first focussing on assessing the latest regional model configuration – which will soon become operational. His recent work has utilised high-resolution simulations across very-large tropical domains – assessing the changes in model behaviour we are likely to see as we move to finer resolution. Richard also has a keen interest in tropical cyclones, both through exploiting high-resolution ensembles and utilising machine learning methodologies to improve predictions of tropical cyclone intensity
