Crazy wind is already a problem for flying buses which we think will get worse with the Earth hotter than it is now (it is already hotter than before). My finish-big-school work piece is about crazy wind and sky high-lighting causing problems for flying buses. Mark Prosser – Using aviation meteorology to improve aircraft safety I do this using a computer which can pretend to be the Earth and works out how much light is caught or sent back to space by changing these things. I study how these small things change how much cloud there is and other things, which in turn change how much light is caught or sent back to space. If humans make more of these things then we will change how warm the Earth is.

However, these things can also change how warm the Earth is by catching light or sending it back to space, and also change how much it rains by changing how much cloud there is in the sky. In the air are very small things that can hurt us if we breathe them in. Max Coleman – Climate response to short-lived pollutants The story helps in finding what made the attack happen, if it was the warming of the sky or maybe something else. Any form of attack such as warm, cold, strong wind and rain is a thing. With us we are talking about humans on the ground. The cool thing is, that we only look at those moments where the sky was attacking us. I look at the warming of the sky, and see if that is different from what the sky was like before it was warming. Linda van Garderen – Climate change detection and attribution of extreme events My job is to decide why we think it is too hot or cold, so that tomorrow we can know how warm it will be! It could be because we can not decide how warm it is or it could be because it has been too hot or cold in the past. Sometimes it is hard to work out why we are wrong about how warm it is today.

But if it was hotter before but we did not notice, then we may think it is also hotter today, so we may need to change what we thought about before as well as what we think about today. We can also imagine how hot or cold it will be by thinking about how hot or cold it has been before, or how hot or cold it is on a day that is like today. If over lots of time it is more often hot than it is cold, or the other way around, then we have to move how much warmer we have found it to be so that we can write down how warm it actually is. When we find out how hot or cold it is outside, sometimes it is not right as sometimes it can be too hot and sometimes it can be too cold. While restricting yourself to only the ten-hundred most commonly used words seemed to make things more confusing at times, it certainly gets one thinking about what complicated words don’t need to be used… and results in some amusing explanations! A screenshot of the xkcd “Simple Writer” toolĭevon Francis – Advanced methods for assimilating satellite data in numerical weather prediction Email: & challenge most researchers will be familiar with is how do you explain your research to friends and family in a way that’s readily understandable to non-experts? The web comic xkcd decided to try describing the Saturn-V moon rocket (‘Up Goer Five’) using only the ten-hundred most commonly used words.įeeling that we needed something a bit different during the Covid-19 lockdown, and inspired by our predecessors in a previous blog post, we decided to have a go at explaining our own research using the xkcd ‘simplewriter’ tool in our weekly PhD group meeting.
