In Summer 2021, MPE CDT Echo Students took part in nine-week research internships with either the Met Office or the Hong Kong Observatory. These were carried out remotely, although some were able to meet their Met Office supervisor in person.
On 10 November 2021 they presented the results of their research at a meeting held in The Meadow Suite in Park House at The University of Reading to an audience that included Brian Golding and Ken Mylne from the Met Office; Dan Crisan and Colin Cotter from Imperial College London; and Jennifer Scott, Ted Shepherd, Valerio Lucarini and Janet Fillingham from the University of Reading.
