Workshop Program

Registration



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.

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.
