The European Geosciences Union (EGU) is currently accepting abstract submissions for the EGU General Assembly 2018. This meeting will be held 8-13 April 2018 in Vienna, Austria.
Conveners of the following session invite abstract submissions:
SESSION CL3.03/AS1.22/CR1.6/OS1.15: Polar Climate Predictability and Prediction
Conveners: Neven-Stjepan Fuckar, Virginie Guemas, Torben Koenigk, Matthieu Chevallier, Ed Hawkins, Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth, Rym Msadek, and Helge Goessling
The Arctic sea ice cover and many other elements of the cryosphere are experiencing significant changes over the modern observational era. The polar climate is crucial for the Earth's energy and water budget, and its variability and change have direct socio-economic impacts. However, most of climate models are not yet in position to provide accurate predictions of polar climate. This session welcomes presentations advancing understanding of the mechanisms that control polar climate variability on sub-seasonal to multi-decadal timescales and climate change in both hemispheres. Submissions that examine sources of polar climate predictability in a hierarchy of models, and link polar processes and predictions with mid- and low-latitude climate are encouraged. Studies using remote sensing data, field observations, proxy data, theory and numerical models encompassing climate projections, reanalyses and forecast systems are also encouraged. This session aims to further connection between the atmospheric, oceanic and cryospheric research, and operational communities. Furthermore, the session is an opportunity to present and discuss plans for the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP), with its Core Phase commencing mid-2017.
