Tony Dore

I completed my PhD in atmospheric physics in 1990 at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). The following decade was spent living a somewhat nomadic existence working as a research fellow in various different European institutes. This included holding posts at the Universities of Warsaw and Wroclaw in Poland and working at both the French and U.K. national meteorological offices before returning to UMIST.

My research interests include both field experiments and computer modelling. Much of my experimental work has involved looking at orographic deposition of pollutants by rain and snow. I have also been involved in aircraft measurements of short-wave radiative transfer. I have worked with both small process models, to investigate the 'seeder-feeder' effect and simulate cloud chemical reactions, as well as mesoscale meteorological models which have been applied to modelling airflow and precipitation over hills.

Since joining the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in 2001, my activities have been focused on national scale modelling of ammonia transport and deposition using the Fine Resolution AMmonia Exchange model (FRAME).
