Dear Colleagues,
Last chance today to submit your abstract on Polar Meteorology and links to changes in land and sea ice in polar areas (See details below).
Abstract submission closes today at 12 CET.
Looking forward to see you in Vienna!
Best,
Diana; Amélie and Till.

Dear Cryolist members,
With the abstract submission deadline for EGU fast approaching, I'd like to draw your attention to our session on Polar meteorology and climatology and their links to changes in the cryosphere.
The polar climate system is strongly affected by interactions between the atmosphere and the cryosphere. Feedback mechanisms between snow, land ice, sea ice and the atmosphere, such as blowing snow, ice melt, polynya formation, and sea ice production play an important role. Atmosphere-ice interactions are also triggered by synoptic weather phenomena such as cold air outbreaks, katabatic winds, polar cyclones, atmospheric rivers, Föhn winds and heatwaves. However, our understanding of these processes is still incomplete, and to fully capture how atmosphere, land ice and sea ice are coupled on different spatial and temporal scales, remains a major challenge.
This session will provide a setting to foster discussion on the atmosphere-ice coupling in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It will offer the opportunity to review newly acquired knowledge, identify gaps, and which instruments, tools, and studies can be designed to address these open questions.
We invite contributions on all observational and modelling aspects of Arctic and Antarctic meteorology and climatology that address atmospheric interactions with the cryosphere. This may include studies of atmospheric dynamics that influence sea-ice dynamics or ice-sheet mass balance, or investigations into the variability of the atmospheric circulation such as polar jets, the circumpolar trough, storm tracks and their link to changes in the cryosphere.
All the best wishes, and we look forward to seeing you in Vienna!
Diana Francis, Till Wagner, Amélie Kirchgaessner
