Help to provide evidence-based recommendations for improving Arctic, Antarctic and Southern Ocean environmental prediction and weather services from both scientific AND operational perspectives.

The WMO World Weather Research Program (WWRP) Polar Coupled Analysis and Prediction for Services (PCAPS) project is interested in hearing from anyone with knowledge or expertise in working in or researching the Arctic, Antarctic or Southern Ocean regions.

This includes undertaking any form of field research, technical or logistical support activities, commercial work (e.g., in tourism or fisheries) as well as those involved in desk-based polar research, e.g., social and behavioural research, environmental modelling and prediction, or weather, ocean, ice and climate forecasting services and their provision. 

If you are over 18 years old take part by completing a 10-minute online survey, which will ask for your perspectives about the challenges in, research needs for and societal outcomes of environmental prediction research, services and information use in the Polar Regions. 

This study has been approved by the University of Tasmania Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC).

Please share our invitation to take part, and the PCAPS Horizon Scan survey link, across your networks.
