Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This paper describes the Met Office's new lightning location system LEELA. A brief overview of the upgraded hardware and geolocation algorithms is given. LEELA has improved lightning detection capabilities, especially at night. When comparing LEELA to the previous ATDnet system against ground truths LEELA has 100% storm detection efficiency within 5 km

Do the public take action when a severe snow warning is issued?
Weather, EarlyView.Extreme weather events pose significant risks to the population, making timely warnings essential for preparedness. The UK Met Office’s National Severe Weather Warning Service (NSWWS) has issued impact‐based alerts for over a decade, yet evaluations of their effectiveness remain limited.

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.Three methods for substituting on‐site ambient ultraviolet radiation measurements for personal exposure measurements were investigated. Assuming spatial persistency of measurements from high‐grade instruments delivers lowest uncertainties up to distances of 82 km.

Objective detection of gravity waves in Himawari‑8 imagery in support of aviation forecasting
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2020 In this paper, the applicability of an objective gravity wave detection method based on Gabor filter plus grating cell operators to Himawari‑8 geostationary satellite imagery is investigated for the visible, water vapor and infrared window bands.
