Abstract
What: Twenty-five scientists from universities, weather forecasting and space centers, and national research institutions in France, Germany, Norway, Russia, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Japan presented and discussed recent developments in polar low research. When: 21–22 May 2012 Where: Oslo, Norway T he International Polar Year (IPY) has brought new momentum to polar low (PL) research and a huge amount of new data on, and insight to, mesoscale processes in polar regions. The Oslo polar low workshop was the 12th workshop of the European Polar Low Working Group (EPLWG1; www.eplwg .uni-trier.de). The EPLWG focuses its work on polar mesocyclones (MCs) in both hemispheres, but research includes other mesoscale weather phenomena such as katabatic winds, tip jets, boundary layer fronts, cold air outbreaks, and Arctic fronts. This workshop2 was convened by EPLWG to summarize recent experimental, climatological, modeling, and remote sensing studies on PLs and polar mesoscale processes. The workshop started with an overview lecture on the influence of low-frequency variability on the life cycles of high-impact weather. Subsequent presentations addressed observational studies, the climatology of PLs, modeling and theoretical aspects, and related and future projects (see www.eplwg.uni-trier .de/index.php?id=46884L extended abstracts of the presentations can be found at www.eplwg.uni-trier.de /index .php?id=46883&L=2).
