Overview
CANARI research focuses on understanding how extreme weather will impact the UK, and how extreme weather will be shaped by climate change.
The programme takes an all-in-one view of the Arctic – North Atlantic climate system to understand the impacts on the UK arising from changes taking place in these regions.
Our science covers atmospheric, ocean, and sea ice modelling; observing and predicting climate change in the Arctic region; and observing and predicting extreme weather in the UK.
