An Overview of the Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH)
The Polar Prediction Project is a 10-year initiative (2013-2022) sponsored by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to facilitate cooperative international research targeted at improved weather and environmental prediction for the polar regions on time scales from hours to seasonal.
