It’s our research aircraft’s birthday this week! It’s the oldest airliner still flying in the UK - albeit studying the atmosphere rather than carrying passengers ✈️ Since 2004, it's helped scientists to learn more about the Earth’s atmosphere, weather, climate change, and air pollution.

A lab on a plane? We think that’s pretty cool ✈️ Dr Siddharth Gumber, an atmospheric modeller at British Antarctic Survey, has just returned from the Alps and he’s updated us on what he and the team have been up to, working with project TEAMx. 🧵 1/3

The aim of project TEAMx is to better understand how mountains impact atmospheric processes, helping improve weather forecasting models. TEAMx is a huge collaboration led by @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social, with researchers from across Europe including our pals at @ncas-uk.bsky.social. 🧵 3/3 📸 S Gumber
