International Workshop on Polar Lows

The International Polar Year 2007-2008 initiated an enhanced research activity on adverse weather in the polar regions, and in particular on mesoscale cyclones and polar lows in the Arctic sector of the Atlantic Ocean. Results of field studies and new theoretical investigations has gain new insight on this highly complicated phenomena.
As part of the STSE STARS project, an International Workshop on Polar Lows was arranged in Oslo 21 - 22 May 2012. The workshop aimed at bringing together scientists and weather forecasters to present the results of the recent activity on polar low research, to share new knowledge and to encourage discussions on improved forecasting and understanding of polar lows.
