Welcome to the website of the 17th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate! The WAMC 2022 meeting will be held in Madison, WI at a the Pyle Center located at 702 Langdon St. This workshop is organized annually by members of the WAMC Planning Committee across the globe. After the 2005 meeting in Columbus, Ohio, it was decided to re-organize and re-name the meeting to the Antarctic Meteorological Observation, Modeling, and Forecasting Workshop to better encompass all groups attending the meetings. After the 2016 meeting in Columbus, Ohio, the meeting was re-named to the Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate.
WAMC
The 17th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC) will be held on Thursday and Friday, August 4th and 5th, 2022. This hybrid meeting will be held online as well as in-person at the Pyle Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The WAMC brings together those with common interests in Antarctic meteorology, climate, forecasting and related disciplines. This meeting is being held just before the American Meteorological Society Collective Meeting which includes the Polar Meteorology and Oceanography meeting. Synergies between the two events are strongly encouraged. The 17th WAMC two-day event will focus on weather forecasting, numerical weather prediction, operational/logistical interests, and observational network reports. Contributions from around the world are welcome on these topics.
YOPP-SH
On the 6th of August, there will be the 7th international Year of Polar Prediction – Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) workshop. This will be a hybrid workshop held in conjunction with the WAMC. Immediate results from the recent Special Observing Period and its embedded Targeted Observing Periods (TOPs) will be a focus along with an opportunity to organize collaborative research. Reporting of research results following from the summer SOP (2018-2019 austral summer) are also encouraged.
