Research

NCAS-Climate provides a core programme of fundamental science, technical support and training to  help address the NCAS Scientific challenges:

  • Improve the capability for predicting climate on regional and local scales, especially for the next few decades
  • Improve the capability for predicting global change on multi-decadal to centennial time-scales
  • Improve the prediction of human exposure to air pollution
  • Improve the capability for predicting high impact weather
