We are happy to announce the 16th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC) joint with the Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) meeting to be held virtually. The entirely online WAMC meeting brings together those with research and operational/logistical interests in Antarctic meteorology and forecasting and related disciplines. More broadly, this workshop also is a forum for current results and ideas in Antarctic meteorology, observations, automatic weather stations, numerical weather prediction, and weather forecasting, from contributors around the world. There will be discussions on the relationships among international efforts and Antarctic forecasting, logistical support, and science. We welcome presentations and workshop activities on these topics.

The international YOPP-SH meeting, also entirely online, will feature research resulting from the summer Special Observing Period (SOP) in 2018-2019 along with plans for participation in the upcoming winter SOP mid -April to mid-July 2022.

Further details regarding registration and abstract submission along with details on sessions for both meetings will be forthcoming in the near future!
