Dr Bob Beare's research involves modelling the atmospheric boundary layer and its interaction with weather systems. Such modelling work has implications for improving weather and climate predictions, air pollution modelling and wind energy. He has a physics degree from Oxford University and a PhD in meteorology from Reading University. In 2001, he joined the Met Office, working on boundary layer dynamics problems using large-eddy simulation techniques and also developing the Met Office Weather and Climate model. In 2007, he took up a lectureship supported by an RCUK academic fellowship in Computational modelling of Weather and Climate at the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Exeter University. He is a fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society. He was an invited lecturer at the International Summer School Session in Atmospheric Boundary Layers, Les Houches, June 2008.
Research interests
- The grey-zone of modelling the boundary layer at high resolution.
- The coupling of the boundary layer to weather systems.
- Air pollution dispersion by early-evening boundary layers.
- Modelling the Antarctic boundary layer.
