The air comes towards a mountain and it's either got to go over the mountain or round the sides, there are various factors that decide which it does. The bit I am looking at the moment is called rotors where you get a closed circulation in the lee of the mountain that can bring down aeroplanes because of a very sharp down current. I go to a lot of seminars, for general meteorology. Then in January 1998 I am going to be at Reading University doing the second term of the MSc lecture courses. The training course that I've already done here at the Met.
Office counts as the first term of the MSc course.
Then if I do the dissertation I get an MSc, otherwise it will be a Post-grad Diploma. There are opportunities to travel abroad to conferences and she also says there are a lot of social activities at the Met. Office, at present she is in the Croquet Club. Life before the Met. She then went on to do a Combined Honours BSc Degree in Maths and French at the University of Exeter.
