Location:International Arctic Research Center
University of Alaska Fairbanks
Conveners:David Bromwich, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University
Jeff Tilley, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks

Primary Themes:

  1. Improving Initialization and Data Assimilation for NWP high latitude applications
  2. Current potential for application of MODIS cloud track winds in NWP data assimilation systems
  3. Improving NWP model physics for high latitude applications, including atm/ice/ocean/land couplings
  4. Numerical issues relevant to NWP in the Arctic and Antarctic

Workshop presentations can be accessed here. A CD containing extended abstracts for many of the presentations was distributed at the workshop. Several copies of this CD are still available and may be obtained through special arrangement with Jeff Tilley, who may be contacted via email at jeff@rwic.und.edu. A special journal issue of Monthly Weather Review related to the workshop is also being pursued. Contact either David Bromwich (bromwich.1@osu.edu) or Jeff Tilley for details.
