DESCRIPTION:LFRic is the new weather and climate model developed by the Me
 t Office to replace the existing Unified Model (UM). LFRic is at the core 
 of Momentum®\, a new Unified Earth Environment Prediction Framework creat
 ed by the Met Office and its partners to deliver a seamless modelling capa
 bility that meets the challenges of exascale computing. LFRic relies on fu
 ndamentally different data structures to UM. Those\, as well increase in r
 esolution\, led to complex technical challenges\, such as compiler support
 \, high volume of data and utilising opportunities presented by heterogene
 ous architectures. These fundamental changes mean changing several compone
 nts of the operational forecast workflow. The key elements for success of 
 any complex programme are expertise and skills of people working on it. Pe
 ople working in NGMS need to have a wide range of skills that are at inter
 section of several STEM-related areas\, which poses challenges in identify
 ing and developing technical expertise. In NGMS we are making use from res
 ources across multiple teams\, as well as from collaboration with external
  partners. We are continuously working on widening and diversifying our ta
 lent pool and developing it by providing training and support\, as well as
  improving our recruitment process to support this.\n\nThe zoom link is ht
