  • The 16th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC)

    This workshop is organized ( typically annually) by members of the WAMC Planning Committee from across the globe. The WAMC brings together those with research and operational/logistical interests in Antarctic meteorology and forecasting and related disciplines. As in the past, the annual activities and status of the Automatic Weather Station (AWS), Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS), and Antarctic Meteorological Research and Data Center (AMRDC) efforts will be addressed, and feedback and results from their user communities will be solicited. More broadly, this workshop also is a forum for current results and ideas in Antarctic meteorology, numerical weather prediction, and weather forecasting, from contributors around the world. There will be discussions on the relationships among international efforts and Antarctic forecasting, logistical support, and science.

  • The 6th Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) Meeting

    For the sixth YOPP-SH meeting, project investigators and representatives of national agencies active in Antarctica will provide updates on research resulting from the YOPP summer Special Observing Period (SOP) in the Southern Hemisphere, November 16, 2018 to February 15, 2019. Advanced planning for the upcoming winter SOP in 2022 and its focused activities during the Targeted Observing Periods will be highlighted.
