Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Worsfold is an Ocean Forecasting Scientist at the UK Met Office with eight years’ experience applying data analysis and software skills to improve environmental models. He moved from weather radar quality-control into forecast verification, building systems that translate complex diagnostics into actionable feedback for chief forecasters. In his current role he evaluates the impact of additional observations on sea surface temperature models, blending domain expertise with coding across languages from Fortran to JavaScript. Comfortable working independently or in teams, he also strengthened public communication through two years on the Met Office Science Camp core team. His academic background in physics and an MSc in nanotechnology give him a rigorous experimental mindset that informs model development and validation. Colleagues rely on him to bridge meteorological insight with practical software solutions that improve forecast accuracy.
