In the rapidly warming ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More, reliable weather and climateThe average weather we would expect over a long period of time (seasons, years, decades). Climate varies from place-to-place across the Earth. Climate is determined by long-term (over at least... More forecasts are becoming increasingly important.Moreover, the weather and climateThe average weather we would expect over a long period of time (seasons, years, decades). Climate varies from place-to-place across the Earth. Climate is determined by long-term (over at least... More of the mid-latitudes are significantly affected by what happens at the poles. Yet, the ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More is among the least-observed places of our planet, and models are facing particular challenges to represent the extraordinary physics governing the polar climateThe average weather we would expect over a long period of time (seasons, years, decades). Climate varies from place-to-place across the Earth. Climate is determined by long-term (over at least... More system. In order to enhance our models’ predictive skills, more and better observations of the ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More atmosphere, sea ice, and ocean are needed.
In this townhall meeting, we are going to discuss how we can best capitalise on existing and additional ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,... More observations to improve forecast initial states, verification, and model physics, and to optimise the future polar observing system. A panel of five international experts on ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives. Some scientists define the Arctic as areas having a high latitude, long winters, short, cool summers,...

The meeting is aligned with ongoing activities within the APPLICATE project and the WMO Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP), which are hosting the townhall meeting, and an opportunity for all interested ArcticDefinitions of the Arctic vary according to environmental, geographical, political, cultural and scientific perspectives.
