EC PHORS-9 will focus attention on framing the Polar and High Mountain (P&HM) Agenda for the next WMO Financial Period (2020-2023), linking to societal benefits to be achieved.
Key outcome of the meeting will be draft Decisions and Recommendations for Cg-18 (2019) and EC-71 (2019), seeking authority on key directions for the P&HM agenda.
Overall, the Panel is expected to provide guidance on improving the linkages between research results and operational services, currently, still, too weak: for example, to examine how to apply the new knowledge from science and develop a service interface (e.g. Polar Regional Climate Centre (PRCC) Networks using the results from the Polar Prediction Project (PPP).
