Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC)
This workshop is organized annually by mem bers of the WAMC Planning Committee across the globe. The WAMC brings toget her those with research and operational/logistical interests in Antarctic m eteorology and forecasting and related disciplines. As in the past, the ann ual activities and status of the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center ( AMRC), Automatic Weather Station (AWS), and Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) efforts will be addressed, and feedback and results from thei r user communities will be solicited. More broadly, this workshop also is a forum for current results and ideas in Antarctic meteorology, numerical we ather prediction, and weather forecasting, from contributors around the wor ld. There will be discussions on the relationships among international effo rts and Antarctic forecasting, logistical support, and science. We welcome papers on these topics.
SCAR Operational Meteorology in the A ntarctic (OpMet)
The SCAR Op Met Expert Group will be holdin g a meeting during the WAMC, with the time to be determined. If you are not in the OpMet Expert Group and are interested in learning more about this, please inquire at the workshop.
Year of Polar P rediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH)
For the fourth YOPP-SH meeting in Charleston, project investigators and represe ntatives of national agencies active in Antarctica are invited to provide u pdates on their activities during the YOPP Special Observing Period (SOP) i n the Southern Hemisphere, November 16, 2018-February 15, 2019. To make mos t effective use in data denial experiments of all the additional radiosonde observations collected during the SOP, we want to assemble complete radios onde data sets from all operators. We will likely want to assemble all surf ace observations as well. A key question to be decided by the meeting is wh ether to hold a winter SOP in the April-June time period in either 2020 or 2021.
We invite you to explore this website, and feel free to&n bsp;con tact us if you have any questions.
