Organizers of the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) Project Summit
announce that live web-streaming of the summit is available to the public.
The summit will convene Monday through Wednesday, 13-15 July 2015 at the
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Headquarters in Geneva,

The goal of YOPP 2017-2019 is to enable significant improvement in
environmental prediction capabilities for the polar regions and beyond,
by coordinating a period of intensive observing, modeling, verification,
user-engagement, and education activities.
A key element in the planning of YOPP is the YOPP Summit. This
high-level event aims to:
- Provide an overview about the present level of planning,
- Engage with stakeholders and identify expectations and requirements,
- Bring the community interested in YOPP together,
- Gather formal commitments from parties interested in YOPP,
- Present the key-elements of YOPP and revise the research priorities if necessary,
- Agree on at least two intensive observing periods,
- Coordinate YOPP with other planned activities,
- Agree on the YOPP data legacy, and
- Review the YOPP education and outreach component.
