Hey Guys, I found this board a little while ago and have been reading for a few days. I'm a meteorologist based in the United States, specifically the northeast part of the nation. I'm a total weather nut and love cold and snow especially. I'm very intrigued by the weather in the U.K. and would like to learn more about it. This site appears to be an excellent resource for doing this. I do not want to clutter your board with useless requests so feel free to move or delete this post if it is seen as such to the moderators. What I'm curious about is the following: 1. What kind of unique microscale phenomenon should I be aware of when forecasting for London. For example here in the U.S. a Southeast wind in New York City this time of year will mean normally mean a surge of mild marine air. Another example, along the East Coast a northeast wind ahead of a storm will cause something called cold air dammning. This often leads to computer model busts on temperatures and storm placement. Any kind of "lessons learned" from forecasting in the U.K. would be helpful. 2. Here in the U.S. we have something called MOS that is generated from the weather models. Do you have a MOS to look at for temperature guidence. I personally hate the MOS here but would be curious to see it for London since I'm fairly new to forecasting there. 3. Any links to Radar, satellite, weather models etc. I found a few links in the learning section of this board but I know the real weather weenies know where the good links are located. Thanks for your help and again feel free to move or delete if I'm out of line with this request.
