2 Presentation Outline Polar Prediction in WMO CliC modelling work Users / Stakeholders
3 WMO Executive Council Panel of Experts on Polar and High Mountain Observations, Research and Services - (EC-PHORS) Following the International Polar Year (IPY): The Global Integrated Polar Prediction System (GIPPS). Decade long initiative that brings together National Meteorological and Hydrological Services throughout the world to map weather, water and essential climate variables. Three time scales: Short-term prediction (hours to seasonal) Medium-term predictability (seasonal to decadal) Long-term projection of ice mass balance and sea level (decadal to centuries)
4 WMO GIPPS Implementation This requires involvement from: World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) The World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) established the Polar Prediction Project (PPP) improved prediction services for the polar regions, on time scales from hours to seasonal. The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) established the Polar Climate Predictability Initiative (PCPI) which contributes to the development of GIPPS on time scales of seasonal and beyond.
5 WMO WWRP Implementation AWI, Germany
6 WMO WCRP Implementation Funding and setup different from PPP Led by CliC and SPARC, core projects of the WCRP, and will be a component of the Melting Ice and Global Consequences Grand Challenge.

8 CliC and WCRP Today
9 WCRP Strategy Overarching scientific objectives: 1. Processes (climate analysis) 2. Predictability (climate predictions) 3. Sensitivity (climate projections) The WCRP Strategic Plan will be released for public comment on 1 June *Public event at AGU 2018 *40 th anniversary WCRP new strategy is focussed on partnerships. Need for global coordination.

15 Projects
16 Modelling - CMIP6 How does the Earth system respond to forcing? What are the origins and consequences of systematic model biases? How can we assess future climate changes given internal climate variability, predictability, and uncertainties in scenarios?
17 Modelling (CMIP6) ESM-SnowMIP - Earth System Model-Snow Model Intercomparison Project (part of LS3MIP) SIMIP - Sea Ice Model Intercomparison Project ISMIP6 - Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project GlacierMIP - Glacier Model Intercomparison Project These are linked to PCPI, IPCC, +
18 SIMIP Sea Ice Goal 1: to better understand sea ice in a changing climate Goal 2: Define a list of variables to understand the evolution of sea ice in any experiment using the sea ice model as part of CMIP6. Three guiding questions: 1. Why do model simulations differ from each other? 2. Why do model simulations differ from the observational record 3. What can we do to reduce these differences to obtain a better understanding of sea ice in the climate system and achieve more realistic projections in both hemispheres. /simip
19 Arctic Sea Ice Prediction Stakeholders Workshop Arctic Frontiers, Tromso, January 2018 This workshop brought together sea ice stakeholders and forecasters to: 1) Assess the value of forecasts by the user community. 2) Determine if and how ice forecasts are currently being used in decision making. 3) Communicate the relevant metrics needed by various stakeholders. 4) Identify where improvements in sea ice forecasts would help stakeholders make decisions. 5) Communicate the limits and opportunities of current forecasting systems. This is linked to PCPI and SIPN2
