Description Many sectors of the UK economy (transport, agriculture, health, etc) rely on accurate forecasts of weather conditions which need to be given many months in advance (seasonal forecasts). These forecasts are provided to UK Government by modelling systems run operationally at the Met Office. Improvements in supercomputing power now mean that it is possible to include model components at higher horizontal resolution. National Oceanography Centre co-develops and provides a higher resolution global ocean model to the Met Office which is resulting in significant improvements to the UK seasonal forecasting capability, with demonstrable and widespread benefits to the UK. Beneficiaries: National Health Service, local government, agriculturists, Environment Agency and the general public
