= Met Office
{c}
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.<How we measure wind by Met Office>[Measurement methods and observation conventions]{ref} Its descriptions of the <North Atlantic Oscillation> also distinguish a large-scale circulation index from a deterministic forecast of weather at one site.
