APPLICATE
The goal of APPLICATE is to develop enhanced predictive capacity for weather and climate in the Artic and beyond, and to determine the influence of Arctic climate change on Northern Hemisphere midlatitudes, for the benefit of policy makers, businesses and society.NEWS

And in certain flow regimes, e.g Scandinavian blocking, having more surface based observations in the Euro-Atlantic sector would considerably improve forecast skill not only in the Arctic but also in NE Asia, as shown in @applicate_eu @ECMWF @jonny_day

These two @ECMWF @applicate_eu studies documenting the impact of #Arctic observations on forecast skill are now part of a special collection in @RMetS #QJRMS documenting how important #Arctic observations are for predictive skill. More studies welcome!

Read more on how we used #PredictionSystems in @applicate_eu @polarprediction
to get insights about the role of current observing systems in the #Arctic & their optimal design in the future in this recent @ECMWF blog with @FMassonnet

Sarah Keeley & @GabrieleArduin4 presenting @ECMWF modelling efforts over #seaice & #snow to face the #Polar region challenges & enhance the surface-atmosphere realism.
This is shown to improve #NWP forecast impact as presented at the @eumetsat
#POLARWORKSHOP modelling session!
