University of Birmingham weather experts are working with the Gallagher Research Centre (GRC) on a three-year project to understand how European windstorm clustering patterns are varying from year to year and during a winter season.
University of Birmingham weather experts are working with the Gallagher Research Centre (GRC) on a three-year project to understand how European windstorm clustering patterns are varying from year to year and during a winter season.
Researchers have already found signs of a substantial time varying behaviour in storm clustering. This is a phenomenon often seen during the European windstorm season, where several storms can form and impact on a region like the UK in quick succession.
Storm clustering can bring damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges to single or many countries concurrently, with little break between each weather systems.

By combining batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, even the demanding route between Bodø and Sandnessjøen can become emission-free. The high-speed vessel MS “Elsa Laula Renberg” is one of two used on the Nordland Express. Researchers collected and analyzed sailing data from an entire year. They developed a model to calculate energy consumption and explore solutions for achieving zero emissions. (Photo Credit: Brødrene Aa, NTNU)
