Timothy Noel Palmer CBE FRS (born 31 December 1952) is a mathematical physicist by training.
He has spent most of his career working on the dynamics and predictability of weather and climate.
Amongst various research achievements, he pioneered the development of probabilistic ensemble forecasting techniques for weather and climate prediction (at the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts).
These techniques are now standard in operational weather and climate prediction around the world, and are central for reliable decision making for many commercial and humanitarian applications.
