Short- to Medium-Range Numerical Weather Prediction in the Arctic and Antarctic.

The article focuses on the workshop on Short to Medium Range Numerical Weather Prediction in the Arctic and Antarctic on October 2003 at the International Arctic Research Center, University of Alaska at Fairbanks, Alaska. It fostered interaction among researchers and operational forecasters working in high-latitude numerical weather prediction and promoted an effort toward an Arctic System Reanalysis (ASR). The attendees provided a variety of operational and research perspectives as well as discussion on current results and the proposed ASR.
