Understanding the meteorology and climatology of the Antarctic is essential in evaluating the role of the continent in the global climate system as well as projecting future changes to the Antarctic environment as a result of anthropogenic (greenhouse gas) forcing. Yet advances are restrained by limited understanding, sparse observations, and imperfect models.
We invite abstracts on all observational, modeling, and attribution aspects of Antarctic meteorology and climatology, including those prominent in Antarctica (e.g., linked with the stable boundary layer and the tenuous ice clouds), the connections with tropical climate variability, and the associations with the ocean, sea ice, and stratosphere. Submissions on modeling processes relevant to short (weather) and long (climate) time-scales are especially encouraged.
