The WMO Polar Observations, Research and Services (PORS) activities promote and coordinate relevant programmes that are carried out in the Antarctic and Arctic regions by nations and by groups of nations. It interfaces with all WMO programmes, including the World Weather Watch (WWW), and other related programmes throughout the world, meeting global needs and requirements for meteorological observations, research and services in the polar regions. The activities are carried out under the auspices of theExecutive Council Panel of Experts on Polar Observations, Research and Services.
We are happy to announce that APECS member Tiina Kilpeläinen will represent early career researchers at the next EC-PORS meeting. She has studied the Arctic and Antarctic boundary layer based on measurements and high-resolution numerical models. She has experience from several field campaigns in the Arctic and has been involved in teaching of polar meteorology at the undergraduate level. At the moment, she is working at the Finnish Meteorological Institute and University of Helsinki as researcher focusing on the Antarctic meteorology.
