Abstract

Front cover: A polar orbiter METOP‐C pass over the UK, timed at 1012 utc 18 January 2023 obtained by the Nowcasting Satellite Application Facility (NWC SAF). In the preceding days, cold Arctic air had become established over the country. Convective clouds associated with a polar low can be seen in the North Sea. In the west, convection in a region of cold‐air advection is organised along mesoscale trough features. Patchy snow cover can be seen over north and northwest England, the North York Moors and southeast Scotland. (© 2023 EUMETSAT.)image
