A prototype atmospheric forecast model, ‘FastNet’, has achieved comparable performance to our Global Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) system on some key measures of accuracy, and with further development has the potential to exceed the performance of traditional NWP systems, revolutionising the production of operational weather forecasts at the Met Office by offering faster, more efficient, and more accurate forecasts to help people stay safe and thrive.

  • Respond to pull requests; review and refactor prototype science code for efficiency and robustness  
  • Work as part of a team to incorporate new scientific developments into the FastNet code base.

  • Promote good Quality Assurance processes, best practice, standards and/or regulations in your work and that of others.
  • Communicate knowledge accurately and concisely in written documents and discussions in groups, tailoring communication for diverse audiences, and actively engage with others to understand the requirements and wider context of your work.
