Ageing musicians playing the songs they wrote when young can be a little 'awkward'; but in this case Paul Weller makes it work. Boy About Town from his Jam days is a song about a defiant 21-year-old. Nearly 40 years of life later, with the same words, it is something different.
Young first, then older.

Ocean Modelling at the Met Office
Abstract
Mike will briefly describe the scope and shape of science within the Met Office and of his career there. He will also outline the coordination of the development of the NEMO ocean model, which he leads, and work to ensure the marine systems at the Met Office work efficiently on modern High Performance Computers (HPCs). In the second half of the talk, Mike will focus on two of his current scientific interests: accurate calculation of horizontal pressure forces in models with steeply sloping coordinates; and dynamical interpretations of meridional overturning circulations and ocean heat uptake.
