POLAR PREDICTION PROJECT
The Polar Prediction Project (PPP) is a 10-year (2013–2022) endeavour of the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) with the aim of promoting cooperative international research enabling development of improved weather and environmental prediction services for the polar regions, on time scales from hours to seasonal.
YEAR OF POLAR PREDICTION
The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) is the flagship activity of PPP with the aim of enabling a significant improvement in environmental prediction capabilities for the polar regions and beyond, by coordinating a period of intensive observing, modelling, verification, user-engagement and education activities.
The Year of Polar Prediction is composed of three phases with the core phase taking place during the period May 2017 to June 2019.
A short video introducing YOPP can be found here.

The IcePod Episode Eight – Snowflakes, Pee Bottles and a Mosaic of Floes
03 December 2020
In episode eight of the IcePod, we get to hear back from one of our previous guests – Stefanie Arndt who already spoke with us before leaving for the Arctic (Bonus Episode One). After 145 days away from her home in Bremerhaven, she tells us all about MOSAiC expedition leg 3. Stefanie Arndt is a sea-ice scientist at the German Alfred Wegener Institute, and she has a special sense of snow. While Antarctic snow has been her first love, this time Steffi ventured northern fields and flirted with Arctic snowflakes.
PolarPrediction Mailing List
Our PolarPrediction Mailing List (polarprediction@climate-cryosphere.org) is a mailing list for anyone interested in polar weather and climate predictability and prediction. The list is maintained by CliC and PPP. Subscriber can send anything relevant – including, but not limited to, upcoming events, recent papers, questions, ideas, etc. To subscribe/unsubscribe, please send an e-mail indicating your current affiliation to office@polarprediction.net.
