16th Conference on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography Virtual Meeting

Thank you for attending the 16th Conference on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography!

 

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation this conference was held virtually 01-04 June 2021.

The Conference on Polar Meteorology and Oceanography served to advance and disseminate multidisciplinary research on phenomena that impact the weather and climate of the polar regions  as well as the applications to the needs of humans and society. We were happy to be able to bring the community together during the 2021 conference!
