三、會議概要
極地氣候系統是地球系統的重要組成部分，極地氣候系統在全球變暖背景下正經曆劇烈的變化。極地與全球其它區域存在複雜的相互作用，極地區域發生的變化及其成因是我們目前面臨的極具挑戰性的重大科學問題。由于極地區域觀測稀少，我們對極地過程的了解嚴重不足。為加深對極地氣候變化和極端事件成因的理解，提高極地氣候變化和極端事件的預測能力，一系列國際合作計劃正在醞釀和推進。例如，“國際極地預報年”（Year of Polar Prediction, YOPP）計劃旨在通過國際合作加強極地氣候系統的協同觀測，提高南北兩極氣候和天氣的預報水平。特别是，計劃于2019-2020年實施的多學科北冰洋漂移觀測（The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate，MOSAiC），将史無前例地在北冰洋中心地帶實施全年觀測。為了協調和參與這些重大國際合作計劃，這次研讨會将邀請國際和國内著名極地專家參會，交流最新研究成果，把握未來優先研究方向，促進國際合作與交流。
這次研讨會将主要圍繞以下議題開展學術交流：
- 極地氣候變化及其與全球的聯系；
- 極地天氣氣候極端事件和災害性冰情；
- 極地海洋環流和海洋-海冰-冰架-大氣耦合作用機理。
研讨會歡迎國際和國内科學家以口頭或牆報形式提交學術報告。

Polar Climate Change: Driving Processes,
Extreme Events, and Global Linkages
First Announcement
Date:
23-24 October 2017
Location:
Hohai University, Nanjing, China
Overview:
Polar climate is an important component of the global earth system and has experienced dramatic changes in a warming world. The changes in the polar region and their possible influences on and feedback by processes in the rest of the globe have raised great challenges for scientific research. Polar regions have been the least observed and understood regions. To improve understanding and prediction of polar climate changes, and associated extreme events and global impacts, a number of international initiatives for polar climate research, such as Year of Polar Prediction（YOPP），The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC), have been recently planned to carry out. To coordinate with and contribute to these activities and field campaigns, this workshop will bring together leading international and Chinese polar scientists to present new research progress, identify knowledge gaps and research priorities, and discuss future international collaborations.
This workshop covers, but is not limited to, the following themes:
- Polar Climate Change and its Global Linkages
- Polar Climate and weather Extremes and Disastrous Ice Conditions
- Polar Ocean Circulation and Ocean-Ice-Atmosphere Interactions
The workshop welcomes international and Chinese scientists to contribute oral and poster presentations.
