Tom Frame

Tom Frame is a researcher at the University of Reading's Department of Meteorology, School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences. His work focuses on atmospheric dynamics, climate variability, and advanced weather forecasting techniques, particularly in jet stream behavior, convection-permitting ensemble modeling, and tropical-extratropical interactions. He has contributed to understanding North Pacific and Atlantic jet stream trends, extreme precipitation forecasting, and sub-seasonal prediction in Southeast Asia. Frame's research emphasizes improving forecast accuracy through ensemble methods and analyzing climate dynamics using observational and model data.

Key research interests include jet stream dynamics, ensemble forecasting systems, tropical variability impacts, and the predictability of high-impact weather events. His studies often bridge observational analysis with numerical modeling, addressing gaps in understanding weather patterns and their long-term climate context. Frame collaborates on interdisciplinary projects like the DIAMET initiative, exploring cyclone dynamics and cloud processes.
