Organizers invite you to save the date for the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) Final Summit. This summit will take place 1-4 May 2022 in Montreal, Canada.

The conference will bring together the polar prediction community, from operational centers and academia to environment services and polar prediction users and northern communities, to showcase the successes of YOPP and contribute to the legacy of the Polar Prediction Project.

Topics to be discussed during the meeting will be on the representation of polar processes in numerical models, especially coupling of the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice; ocean and sea-ice modelling and services; the MOSAiC expedition and polar observation campaigns; supersite multi-variate observations and process studies (YOPPsiteMIP); Observing System Experiments and reanalyses in polar regions; teleconnections linking polar weather to mid-latitudes predictability; science to services: tailoring polar forecasting products and services to meet user needs; and societal and economic implications of accessible, relevant, and usable forecasts.

Participation of early career scientists is highly encouraged.

Science plenary speakers will include, among others:

  • Petteri Taalas (World Meteorological Organization [WMO]), Secretary General of WMO;
  • Thomas Jung (Alfred Wegener Institute f or Polar and Marine Research), Chair of Polar Prediction Project (PPP) steering group;
  • Gilbert Brunet (Bureau of Meteorology), Previous World Weather Research Program Scientific Steering Committee chair and Chief Scientist Australia;
  • Peter Bauer (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts), Deputy Director Research Department;
  • Gunilla Svensson (Stockholm University), PPP steering group and co-chair of YOPPSiteMIP;
  • Gregory Smith (Environment and Climate Change Canada), Former PPP steering group member;
  • Matthew Shupe (Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences-National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), Co-Coordinator of MOSAiC;
  • Jackie Dawson (University of Ottawa), Canada Research Chair; and
  • Karin Strand (Hurtigruten) Vice President Expedition, Norway.

Further information will be available in June when registration and abstract submission opens.
