Simon H. Lee

Lecturer in Atmospheric Science, University of St Andrews

I am a Lecturer in Atmospheric Science in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews. I am also Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Royal Meteorological Society journal Weather.

My research investigates large-scale weather and climate predictability, variability and change in the extratropics, with a focus on the the stratospheric polar vortex. I am particularly interested in understanding and applying weather regimes across a variety of timescales.
