1823135 In June 2021, the 16th Workshop on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate (WAMC) and the 6th Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) Meeting (http://polarmet.osu.edu/WAMC_2021/) were held online and hosted by the Polar Meteorology Group at Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio (Fig. 1). The WAMC is organized annually by the WAMC Planning Committee and aims to integrate research and operational/logistical interests in Antarctic meteorology, numerical weather prediction, and weather forecasting, as well as related aspects. The 16th WAMC was followed by the 6th YOPP-SH Meeting, which provided updates on the research achievements from the YOPP summer Special Observing Period (SOP) in the Southern Hemisphere (16 November 2018 to 15 February 2019; Bromwich et al., 2020). Also, the plans for the upcoming winter SOP in 2022 were highlighted. The meetings had approximately 140 attendees from over 15 countries, which are listed in the meeting report.
