معرفی
Dr. Daniel Hodson is a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, affiliated with the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) Climate Directorate and the Walker Institute. His research focuses on decadal climate variability, particularly the Atlantic Ocean's impact on European and global climate systems. He is actively involved in projects like the High-Resolution Global Environmental Model (HiGEM) and has contributed to multi-model studies of Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV).
Key research interests include Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), climate predictability, and the effects of North Atlantic SST patterns on regional climate. His work integrates high-resolution climate modeling with analysis of historical climate data, addressing topics such as signal-to-noise paradoxes in forecasts and aerosol influences on ocean circulations.
Dr. Hodson collaborates with the Atlantic European Climate Group and has participated in EU initiatives like PREDICATE and DYNAMITE. His contributions span climate model evaluation (e.g., UKESM1, HadGEM3-GC3.1 for CMIP6) and interdisciplinary studies linking ocean dynamics to atmospheric phenomena. He maintains an active presence in climate dynamics through publications in Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Climate Dynamics, and Npj Climate and Atmospheric Science.
Technical expertise includes Ferret plotting tools, climate model setup (MetUM), and analysis techniques like EOFs and optimal filtering. His work emphasizes bridging theoretical physics (his prior discipline) with applied meteorology, reflecting his background transitioning from theoretical physics research.
