Dr. Palmer is an expert on the predictability and dynamics of weather and climate on all timescales. He has practical interests in the development of
ensemble prediction systems, and the application of ensemble prediction
systems for decision making in society. Dr. Palmer was coordinator of the EU
project DEMETER on multi-model ensemble forecasting for seasonal to
interannual prediction.
