NERCscience | Giving advanced warning of weather extremes - Mark Saunders @NERCscience | Uploaded February 2015 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video, see how #research by Professor Mark Saunders and his team at University College London has underpinned the development of seasonal forecasts and the real-time monitoring of tropical #storms and European #extremeweather.
Over the last ten years these services have:
- generated nearly £1·5m in commercial product sales
- provided free storm alerts or #seasonalforecasts to more than 24,000 subscribers and re-insurance companies worldwide
- made an important contribution to saving lives in Bangladesh from #cyclone Sidr and tropical storm Mahasen.
More than 20 international organisations have also benefited from the services, including the Norwegian Hull Club, which uses them to help more than 9,600 vessels worldwide steer clear of dangerous storms.
Prof Mark Saunders was the runner up at NERC's inaugural impact awards in the category for international impact to recognise research that has achieved exceptional economic and/or societal impact outside the UK.
