Main objective of the Centre is to provide, for the UK Government, an authoritative, up-to-date assessment of both natural and man-made climate change. The main aspects of the researchprogramme are: To simulate the present climate and understand its natural variability; To understand the factors controlling climate change and to predict global and regional climate change up to the end of the 21st century;To develop and use global climate models to support the above tasks.To provide a focus for both national research programmes relevant to climate change prediction and for interaction with international programmes; to facilitate the incorporation of results from these programmes into the prediction models.
