2016-04-05 ~ 2016-04-10, Abisko Field Station in Arctic Sweden


WWRP/WCRP/Bolin Centre Polar Prediction School

The Bolin Centre Polar Prediction School will be held at the Abisko Field Station in Arctic Sweden
from 5-15 April 2016 (next year) sponsored by WWRP, WCRP, and the Bolin Center.
The school is part of the WWRP Polar Prediction Project and the WCRP Polar Climate Predictability Initiative.

This course on Polar Prediction will provide training for 30 PhD and early career post-doctoral polar scientists,
focusing on topics such as: polar mesoscale atmospheric processes; sea ice prediction, near term ensemble prediction,
and seasonal-to-decadal climate variability and prediction in the polar regions.
The program will combine lectures on key areas relevant for polar prediction and
a number of field observation and modelling exercises to foster an interactive learning environment.

We are asking for people interested in this school to fill out the ex-pression of Interest form by 15 May.
You can find the form here: http://www.climate-cryosphere.org/wcrp/pcpi/meetings/abisko-pp-2016/ex-pression-of-interest

Limited travel support may be available, particularly for participants from developing countries.
