The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national meteorological service, producing observations, forecasts and climate information. Its scientific work connects instruments and numerical models: measurements constrain the present atmospheric state, while fluid and thermodynamic equations predict its evolution.
A concrete example is wind observation. The Met Office describes how cup anemometers and sonic anemometers measure local flow and why exposure and averaging conventions matter.[ref] Its descriptions of the North Atlantic Oscillation also distinguish a large-scale circulation index from a deterministic forecast of weather at one site.
