Abstract

In briefly describing climate research at the Met Office before the formation of the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research (usually referred to as the Hadley Centre) in 1990, we concentrate on aspects related to core activities of the Hadley Centre involving climate change, its detection in the observed record, and decadal prediction. The antecedents of the Hadley Centre can be traced back to the Met Office Climatology Research Branch of the 1950s and early 1960s, known as Met O 13.
