Welcome to Simon Lee’s website. I am a PhD student studying stratosphere-troposphere coupling in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, UK. I also hold a Master’s degree in Meteorology (MMet) from the same department.

On this website you can find:

• Weather and science communication blog
• Some useful web links to monitor the stratosphere
• A list of my peer-reviewed publications

My PhD project looks at the predictability and downward coupling of anomalies in the stratospheric circulation and how these influence the weather patterns we experience at the surface. I discuss this more in these blog posts:

• The Stratosphere – why do we care?
• Not all SSWs were created equal
