Professor Tim Palmer has been newly added to CSER’s advisory board. Palmer is Royal Society Anniversary Research Professor at the University of Oxford, is a Senior Scientist at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and was President of the Royal Meteorological Society from 2011-12. This year, he was awarded the Dirac Medal and Prize by the Institute of Physics for his work on climate models. He has performed extensive research on forecast uncertainty, the propagation of errors, and the relative merit of ensemble and deterministic forecasting.
Interestingly, the first Dirac Medal from the Institute of Physics was awarded to another CSER advisor, Professor Stephen Hawking, in 1987.
