Our speaker is Professor Stephen Mobbs from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS).

The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), is a NERC research centre distributed across several sites, including universities in Leeds, Manchester, York, Reading, Cambridge and several others. NCAS provides national capability in atmospheric science research. The centre performs directed and multi-disciplinary research, using state-of-the-art technologies for observing and modelling the atmosphere. Additionally, NCAS provide scientific facilities for scientists and researchers across the UK to enable excellent atmospheric science. These include a world-leading research aircraft, ground-based instrumentation, access to computer models and facilities for storing and accessing data. As well as giving an overview of NCAS capabilities, services and facilities, I will present recent NCAS work which focuses on modelling atmospheric gas and particulate plumes at high resolution using a modified numerical weather prediction model. Applications are to volcanic ash and gas plumes as well as emissions from the oil and gas industry. The new modelling capabilities include representations of dense gas flows and multiphase flows.

Coffee and tea will be available after the seminar in the first floor foyer of the Williamson Building.
