Dear colleagues,
Apologies for multiple/cross-postings, but please allow me to draw your attention to the following session at EGU 2015, 12-17 April 2015:
CL3.4/AS1.4/CR6.5/OS1.9 Polar Climate Predictability and Prediction
http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2015/session/18184
Convener and co-conveners: Neven-Stjepan Fuckar, Cecilia Bitz, Virginie Guemas, Ed Hawkins, Matthieu Chevallier, Torben Koenigk, Rym Msadek and Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth
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 us with accurate predictions of polar climate. We welcome presentations advancing understanding of the mechanisms that control polar climate variability on sub-seasonal to multi-decadal timescales and climate change. We encourage submissions that examine sources of polar climate predictability in a hierarchy of models, and that link polar processes and predictions with mid- and low-latitude climate. We look forward to studies using remote sensing data, field observations, proxy data, theory and numerical models encompassing climate projections, reanalysis products and forecast systems. This session aims to further the connection between the atmospheric, oceanic and cryospheric research and operational communities.
The deadline for abstract submission is 7 January 2015 at 13.00 CET.
