Contents

In the context of the impending International Polar Year (IPY,2007-9), this Seminar will provide a pedagogical review of the recent advances in our knowledge and understanding of polar atmospheric science, and of some of the key issues to be addressed in IPY. Subjects to be covered will include data assimilation, modelling and predictability challenges unique to such high latitudes including those associated with the land, ocean and cryosphere. Some attention will be focussed on the performance of NWP and climate modelling systems in these regions and the nature and causes of identified deficiencies.

Programme

Participants are requested to arrive at ECMWF between 09:30 and 10:00 on Monday 4 September for registration. The seminar will close at 13:00 on Friday 8 September.
