The 2nd Antarctic Atmospheric River Workshop will take place 27-29 June 2023 in Boulder, Colorado and online.
Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are an important component of the hydrological cycle and have been increasingly recognized as critical to Antarctic meteorology and climatology. Since just 2014, atmospheric rivers have been identified as a sub-tropical link to the Antarctic continent and create extreme atmospheric conditions that are largely consequential to surface melt, snowfall, and ice-shelf stability.
The goals of this workshop include reviewing the current state of knowledge, identifying research gaps and emerging science, as well as actively beginning a review paper. Specific science categories include tools, dynamics, impacts, energy and moisture budgets, climate change and variability, and cross polar themes.
This will be a hybrid workshop with both in-person and online participation. The workshop will be a mix of oral presentations, thematic discussion periods, workshopping projects, and an excursion in and around the Rocky Mountains for in-person participants.
Please register to attend. Abstracts are due Friday, 19 May 2023.
