Polar Prediction Project

The aim of the WWRP Polar Prediction Project (WWRP-PPP) is to promote cooperative
international research enabling development of improved weather and environmental prediction services for the polar regions, on time scales from hourly to seasonal. This project constitutes the hourly to seasonal research component of the WMO Global Integrated Polar Prediction System (GIPPS).
