Isabel Smith is a PhD student based at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. Isabel published a paper in Climate Dynamics in June 2023, titled Clear-air turbulence trends over the North Atlantic in high-resolution climate models.
She was fascinated by weather and the atmosphere from a young age, being raised in both wet and windy Glasgow and Hong Kong. Isabel graduated with a first class combined master’s degree in Meteorology and Climate at the University of Reading. During her degree she was a part-time student forecaster at MeteoGroup (DNT) and interned at weathertrending.
