Announcement
We are soliciting participation from all who are interested. Talks and extended
abstracts are encouraged from those who would like to make an oral presentation.
As in the previous years, we shall produce a preprint volume, and extended abstracts
are due May 20, 2005.
The main workshop sessions will likely be:
Friday, June 10, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., although this is subject to final scheduling.
Registration
To register, click on the "Registration" link above. We would appreciate your registering
as early as possible, as the registration information will be used for workshop
planning purposes. There is no registration fee.
Presentations
We encourage summaries of presentations that registrants might want
to give. This will allow for planning of the program. The presentation request
should include your name, affiliation, title of presentation, and e-mail address,
and it should be sent to Dr. Jordan Powers at powers@ucar.edu. The oral presentations will be
allotted 15-20 min.
If you would like to do a presentation using Powerpoint, please attempt to send it
to Dr. Jordan Powers at powers@ucar.edu prior to the workshop.
Otherwise you may bring a USB memory stick, CD, or floppy disk containing it,
and we will provide the laptop and laptop projector.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research and The Ohio State University
invite you to attend the 5th AMPS Users' Workshop (2005)
at the Byrd Polar Research Center in Columbus, Ohio.
The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System
(AMPS).
is a real-time mesocale modeling system which has provided NWP guidance for
the NAtional Science Foundations's operations across the Ice, has helped served numerous other nations'
Antarctic forecasting needs, has supported scientific activities and field campaigns,
and has contributed to international Antarctic rescue operations.
The 5th AMPS Users' Workshop aims to:
(i) review the status of, and developments in, AMPS,
(ii) serve as a forum for current results and
concerns in Antarctic meteorology, NWP, and forecasting,
(iii) exchange feedback and results from the AMPS user
community, and
(iv) discuss topics of mutual interest to the AMRC, to the
AWS program, and to Antarctic forecasters and scientists.
The workshop sessions will cover: (a) AMPS developments, performance, and issues;
(b) Antarctic NWP research and Antarctic forecasting efforts (including
investigations of forecast events, polar atmospheric modeling, international
programs, etc.); and (c) user feedback. In addition, there will be general discussions on the
interrelationships between AMPS, the AWS system,
AMRC, and Antarctic forecasting, logistical support, and science.
