Join us tomorrow night (06/11/2024) at the Martin Wood Lecture Theatre at 17:30 for a talk by Prof. Tim Woolings on atmospheric physics.
Tim Woollings is a Professor in Physical Climate Science at AOPP, specializing in large-scale atmospheric dynamics. His research interests focus on the weather and climate of the mid-latitudes, particularly the behavior of jets, storm tracks, and large-scale regimes such as blocking. He investigates the fundamental understanding of these features, their variability, and their responses to factors like anthropogenic climate change. Recently, his work has emphasized the interaction between mid-latitude dynamics and both tropical and polar regions.
He serves as the Oxford Joint Chair of the Met Office Academic Partnership and collaborates closely with the Met Office on pressing weather and climate issues. He encourages anyone with questions about the Oxford-Met Office collaboration to reach out, as he is dedicated to developing new projects and connections.
Much of Woollings’ research centers around mid-latitude jet streams, which are arguably the most significant weather systems on Earth. For those living in the mid-latitudes, the jet stream is likely the most critical factor influencing their weather and climate. To learn more, he invites readers to check out his new book on the jet stream, written for a general audience.
