A workshop focussing on atmospheric blocking will be held at the University of Reading from the 6th to the 8th of April 2016. The topics will focus on:

• the different diagnostic tools used to identify blocking;
• the past trends in blocking frequency and links with extreme weather conditions;
• the representation of blocking in the NWP and climate models and its response to forcings.

This will be a unique opportunity to bring together members of the climate and weather community as well as fundamental and applied researcher working on blocking-related topics.
