SUMMARY:14th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC) & YOPP-SH Meeting
LOCATION:Charleston SC\, USA
DESCRIPTION:\nWorkshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC)\nThis workshop is or
 ganized annually by members of the WAMC Planning Committee across the globe
 . The WAMC brings together those with research and operational/logistical i
 nterests in Antarctic meteorology and forecasting and related disciplines. 
 As in the past, the annual activities and status of the Antarctic Meteorolo
 gical Research Center (AMRC), Automatic Weather Station (AWS), and Antarcti
 c Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) efforts will be addressed, and feedbac
 k and results from their user communities will be solicited. More broadly, 
 this workshop also is a forum for current results and ideas in Antarctic me
 teorology, numerical weather prediction, and weather forecasting, from cont
 ributors around the world. There will be discussions on the relationships a
 mong international efforts and Antarctic forecasting, logistical support, a
 nd science. We welcome papers on these topics.\nSCAR Operational Meteorolog
 y in the Antarctic (OpMet)\nThe SCAR Op Met Expert Group will be holding 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, plea
 se inquire at the workshop. \nYear of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemi
 sphere (YOPP-SH)\nFor the fourth YOPP-SH meeting in Charleston, project inv
 estigators and representatives of national agencies active in Antarctica ar
 e invited to provide updates on their activities during the YOPP Special Ob
 serving Period (SOP) in the Southern Hemisphere, November 16, 2018-February
  15, 2019. To make most effective use in data denial experiments of all the
  additional radiosonde observations collected during the SOP, we want to as
 semble complete radiosonde data sets from all operators. We will likely wan
 t to assemble all surface observations as well. A key question to be decide
 d by the meeting is whether to hold a winter SOP in the April-June time per
 iod in either 2020 or 2021. \nWe invite you to explore this website, and fe
