Hello readers, and a happy new year to you all! (ok we’re a bit late on that one… but regardless we both wish you a great start to 2022!)
We have really enjoyed reading and publishing all of the posts submitted over the last year, and following all of the research conducted by PhD students in the Reading department of Meteorology. There have been posts on conferences, papers, visitors, and much more, finishing with the heralded Met dept. Pantomime!
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Social Metwork over this past year. We are really looking forward to new submissions this term – and whether you are a veteran contributor or have never written for a blog before, we really encourage you to get in touch and write for us 🙂
In the last year, the blog has had over 7900 visitors from all over the world!
Compared to 2020 we have seen Brazil and Australia enter the top 10 highest number of readers at 144 and 118 views respectively. And leading with the top 3 number of views are United Kingdom (6495), United States (1134) and China (361).
