Welcome to Simon Lee’s website. I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics at Columbia University in the City of New York. I hold PhD and MMet degrees from the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, UK. I am also one of two Editors-in-Chief of the Royal Meteorological Society journal ‘Weather’.

Stratospheric polar vortex and regime forecast charts previously available on this site are currently offline, but I intend to make these available again soon.

On this website you can find:

• A list of my publications
• Weather and climate science blog
• Some useful web links to monitor the stratosphere
