YOPP Project Description
Enable a significant improvement in environmental prediction capabilities for the polar regions and beyond, by coordinating a period of intensive observing, modelling, verification, user-engagement and education activities.
The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) is one of the key elements of the Polar Prediction Project. YOPP is scheduled to take place from mid-2017 to mid-2019.
YOPP will
cover an extended period of coordinated intensive observational and modelling activities in order to improve polar prediction capabilities on a wide range of time scales in both polar regions.
strongly engage in forecast-stakeholder interaction, verification and a strong educational component.
coincide with, support, and draw on other related planned activities for polar regions.
be implemented in three different stages: a preparation phase (2013-2017), YOPP itself (mid-2017 - mid-2019), and a consolidation phase (2019-2022).
If you wish to subscribe to polarprediction@climate-cryosphere.org, the joint mailing list for polar weather and climate prediction and predictability by CliC and PPP (more than 400 subscribers), please send an e-mail to office@polarprediction.net
