Details

This workshop will bring together researchers working across observational and modelling aspects of Antarctic atmospheric science to synthesise recent progress and coordinate future efforts. Building on a suite of recent campaigns—including CAMPCANN, MISO, Denman, COAST‑K and CAPE‑K—we will provide an overview of emerging datasets, data availability for end users on the national data collection for atmospheric observations, and the status of associated papers. Complementing this, we will discuss advances in modelling capabilities that can support interpretation of these observations and guide the development of future campaign strategies. Through structured discussions, the workshop will identify high‑priority scientific questions that can be addressed using existing datasets, opportunities for cross‑campaign analyses, and avenues for strengthening links between observations and models. The second half of the workshop will focus on forward planning, including upcoming initiatives such as MISO2, MIZ, SOCOA, Antarctica Insync and the International Polar Year. We will assess logistical needs, potential interdisciplinary and international collaborations, satellite validation opportunities, and future funding pathways to support ambitious, multi‑platform Antarctic atmospheric research.
