Contributions to the Action Areas of theWWRP Implementation Plan
WW
RP
PPP
Test and demonstrate improved polar predictions as part ofYOPP
Address limitations on polar prediction through the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) core phase (mid-2017 to mid-2019) and subsequent consolidation phase
HIW-AA1: Limitations
WW
RP
PPP
Explore the predictability of the atmosphere-cryosphere-ocean, with a focus on sea ice, on time scales from days to a season
Develop polar-specific forecast verification methods, in particular related to sea ice, as a prerequisite to quantify analysisand forecast error/uncertainty
HIW-AA2: Uncertainty
WW
RP
PPP
Develop improved (coupled) data assimilation systemsaccounting for challenges in the polar regions such as sparsenessof observational data
Assess the impact of coupled versus uncoupled assimilationon coupled predictions of the various environmental systemcomponents (atmosphere, land, sea ice, ocean, wave, snow)
Develop improved representation of key polar processes in coupled models used for prediction
Carry out model experiments including operational versions ofmedium range prediction models with coupled atmosphere-ice-ocean-hydrology
Carry out coupled versus uncoupled predictions of the variousenvironmental system components (atmosphere, land, sea ice, ocean, wave, snow)
HIW AA3: Fully coupled
WW
RP
PPP
Promote improving sea-ice forecasting capacity and explorecorresponding user needs
Demonstrate the benefits of using predictive information for a spectrum of user types and services in polar regions
HIW AA4: Applications
WW
RP
PPP
Collaborate on appropriate verification for high-impact polar weather — e.g., polar lows
Put a special emphasis on improving sea ice verification Improve general verification of polar weather and
environmental predictions as part of YOPP, to obtain betterquantitative knowledge on model performance, and on the skill, especially for user-relevant parameters
Use the YOPP Core Phase to test verification methodologies, including impact-based and user-oriented verifications
HIW AA5: Verification
WW
RP
PPP
Improve understanding of linkages between polar regions andlower latitudes and assess skill of models representing theselinkages, to help elicit the influence of polar climate change andvariability on lower latitude weather
HIW AA6: Attribution
WW
RP
PPP
Carry out research and development on coupled dataassimilation, including sea ice as appropriate
Develop coupled modelling systems for PPP/YOPP includingaspects such as sea ice, snow, and river run- off as integral components
Carry out research on polar clouds; in particular, mixed-phase clouds in the stable boundary layer, utilising YOPP observationsand modelling
Water AA7: Integrated Water Cycle
WW
RP
PPP
Validate polar precipitation forecasts and calibrate satellite-derived estimates using in-situ data (in particular those collectedduring YOPP and MOSAiC) to the extent possible
Water AA8: New Observations
WW
RP
PPP
Evaluate the importance of aerosols for polar predictions and iceprocesses
Use relevant polar supersite, field programme, and intensive observing period observations (including MOSAiC) during and after YOPP for precipitation process studies
Water AA9: Precipitation processes
WW
RP
PPP
Research and develop coupled atmosphere/sea-ice/ocean dataassimilation techniques
ET AA14: Advanced methods
WW
RP
PPP
Develop a YOPP data portal that links to all relevant modellingand observational data sets
Publish a special issue on YOPP in the data publishing journalEarth System Science Data
ET AA15: Support facilities
WW
RP
PPP
Promote YOPP as providing a framework for testing innovative observing systems (e.g., aircraft deployable ice observing systems)
ET AA17: New observations
WW
RP
PPP
Facilitate the near real-time gathering of research data for YOPP into WMO’s WIS/GTS
Assess the impact of existing and supplementary observationsduring YOPP, mainly through OSEs and OSSEs
Assess the impact of existing and supplementary observations on S2S forecasts during YOPP and YMC
ET AA17: Future gos
WW
RP
PPP
Run PPP/YOPP/PCPI Polar Prediction Schools for early careerscientists
Run Polar Prediction Webinars, in collaboration with APECS

PPP and YOPP have gained a lot of momentum and visibility Substantial progress in 2015/16 Good progress with the Action Areas as outlined in the
WWRP Implementation Plan Further planning and running of YOPP will require
considerable financial resources
