How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Warwick Physics Colloquium: Paul Williams (Reading): Forecasting atmospheric turbulence from hours to decades ahead
PLT

It is well known that the atmosphere exhibits turbulence with a -5/3 energy spectrum on small scales (on the order of 100 km and smaller). It is also well known (especially to airline passengers) that transient localised enhancements to this background turbulence are hazardous to aircraft. Understanding this aviation-affecting subset of turbulence is an important and challenging application of geophysical fluid dynamics. This talk will describe a new theory and mechanism for the generation of aviation turbulence. It will also test the skill of the mechanism by comparing observations of turbulence with predictions made from the theory. These tests are successful, to the extent that the algorithm is now being used operationally to predict turbulence for the aviation sector every day. Finally, I will explain why climate change is strengthening aviation turbulence, potentially leading to bumpier flights in future.

UKRI Deadlines

Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.

The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:

EPSRC New Investigator Award

EPSRC Network Grant

EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship

EPSRC Open Fellowship

EPSRC Open Plus Fellowship

EPSRC Working with overseas scientists

EPSRC Standard research grant

EPSRC Discipline hopping in ICT

EPSRC Overseas travel grant
