Getting Involved with the Year of Polar Prediction
Scientific Involvement
Join a Task Team |
Task Teams for various activities during the Year of Polar Prediction have been formed. Read more about YOPP Task Teams at www.polarprediction.net/about/organization/yopp-task-teams/. In order to get engaged in one of the Task Teams, please contact the ICO at office@polarprediction.net. |
Request YOPP Endorsement |
Projects, programmes, and initiatives contributing to the aims of the Year of Polar Prediction are invited to request endorsement by YOPP. Learn more about YOPP Endorsement at www.polarprediction.net/key-yopp-activities/yopp-endorsement/. |
Benefit from YOPP-related modelling datasets (and/or contribute yours) |
Near-real time forecast data to be used during the YOPP Core Phase: "YOPP Dataset" by ECMWF: analyses & deterministic forecasts; 9 km resolution; extra variables; little delay (at request <1d); starting mid-'17 • GOV sea-ice forecasts (short-term) by multiple centres; already running; availability to be discussed Reanalyses and other non-real-time data: • "YOPP Reanalysis" by ECMWF; extension of "CERA-SAT"; (weakly) coupled DA; atmos 65 km 137lev, ocean ¼° 75lev; 10 ens. members • Arctic System Reanalysis v3; Polar WRF; 5 km resolution, lowest level at 2 m; lateral forcing by ERA5 • CBHAR: high-resolution reanalysis for the Pacific Arctic • Sea-ice ocean reanalyses (PORA-IP); S2S; TIGGE; Drift Forecasts. |
Take part in the YOPP observational component |
Before and during the YOPP Core Phase: • Share your field plans with us (ideally via YOPP endorsement) to generate opportunities • Submit your research data, where applicable and possible, to the GTS • Take extra observations that help "filling the gap", in particular during Special Observing Periods incl. radiosondes, AWS, buoys, drifters, airborne platforms etc. During and after the YOPP Core Phase: • Make your data accessible through the YOPP Data Portal • Use other YOPP data for your research. |
Submit data in real-time |
If you need assistance to submit your data into the WIS GTS, please get into contact with the ICO office@polarprediction.net so we connect you with an WIS/GTS expert. |
