The 16th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate and 6th Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere Meeting

1. Overview In June 2021, the 16th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC) and the 6th Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) Meeting (http://polarmet.osu.edu/WAMC;021/) were held online and hosted by the Polar Meteorology Group at Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus,Ohio (Fig. 1).

The 13th and 14th Workshops on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate

1.Overview In July 2018,the Antarctic community came together to meet at the 13th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate(WAMC)in Madison,Wisconsin,USA(Fig.1);and in the following year in June 2019,the 14th WAMC was held in Charleston,South Carolina,USA(Fig.2).With a growing history,the WAMC addresses the topics of Antarctic meteorology and climate(Kameda et al.,2008;Colwell et al.,2016;Lazzara et al.,2018)as well as weather-related issues of scientific and operational support.The workshops bring together researchers,operational forecasters,numerical modelers,observational specialists,and students.The themes of both workshops included Antarctic meteorological observations,Antarctic atmospheric numerical modeling,Antarctic meteorological and climate research,and Antarctic weather forecasting and operational services.The 2018 and 2019 WAMC were both followed by a one-day focus on the Year of Polar Prediction-Southern Hemisphere(YOPP-SH),when preparations and follow-up discussions were made with regard to the YOPP Special Observing Period from 16 November 2018 to 15 February 2019.

The 12th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate

1.Overview The 12th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate（WAMC）,formerly known as the Antarctic Meteorological Observation,Modeling,and Forecasting（AMOMF）Workshop（AMOMFW）,was held at the National Center for Atmospheric Research（NCAR）in Boulder,Colorado,USA on 26–28 June 2017.The annual workshop dates from 2006,and recent meetings have been the 10th AMOMF Workshop held in 2015 in Cambridge,

The 10th Antarctic Meteorological Observation,Modeling,and Forecasting Workshop

1. Overview The 10th Antarctic Meteorological Observation, Modeling, and Forecasting Workshop （hereinafter AMOMFW） took place June 17-19, 2015 in the historic city of Cambridge, United Kingdom. The meeting followed its purpose of connecting Antarctic atmospheric science to weatherrelated operational issues and advances in observing, modeling, forecasting, and understanding the Antarctic environment.
