Topics to be discussed during the meeting will be on the representation of polar processes in numerical models, especially coupling of the atmosphere, ocean & sea ice; ocean and sea-ice modelling and services; the MOSAiC expedition and polar observation campaigns; supersite multi-variate observations and process studies (YOPPsiteMIP); Observing System Experiments and reanalyses in polar regions; teleconnections linking polar weather to mid-latitudes predictability; science to services: tailoring polar forecasting products and services to meet user needs; societal and economic implications of accessible, relevant, and useable forecasts; participation of early career scientists is warmly encouraged, to shape the future of polar ccience.

- Petteri Taalas (WMO), Secretary General of WMO
- Thomas Jung (AWI), Chair of PPP steering group
- Gilbert Brunet (BoM), Previous WWRP-SSC chair and Chief Scientist Australia
- Peter Bauer (ECMWF, Deputy Director Research Department
