Central Arctic weather forecasting: Confronting the ECMWF IFS with observations from the Arctic Ocean 2018 expedition
7. April 2021
Advanced Prediction in Polar regions and beyond: Four Years of the APPLICATE Project
30. April 2021
This year’s virtual conference of the European Geoscience Union (EGU) will take place during 19 – 30 April 2021. After having evaluated the last online EGU meeting in 2020, the 2021 conference provides a virtual forum for researchers, especially early-career scientists, who can present their work and studies and have insightful discussions with experts in all fields of geoscience. You can find more information and the full Programme at https://www.egu21.eu.
Our APPLICATE colleagues are also contributing with presentations and posters, offering many hubs to discuss advances in Arctic research – check below and watch out for them during the sessions:
