The 10th Arctic Climate Forum (ACF-10) took place as a virtual meeting on October 26-27 2022. The meeting was hosted by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The key objectives of the ACF-10 were to:
Develop the consensus statement on the current status (summer-fall 2022) and the future outlook (winter 2022-2023) of the Arctic climate on a seasonal scale.
Raise awareness of end-users about new climate products and services for the Arctic, potential support to decision-making, and the current limitations.
Interact with end-users and learn about the climate information they currently use for planning, and their needs for climate information.
The two parts of the meeting was arranged as follows:
- Day 1: October 26th (Wednesday at 1600-1900 UTC) there were the ArcRCC-N Regional Overview Briefings featuring the extremes seen during summer 2022 along with the outlook for winter 2022-2023 for 8 regions in the Arctic.
- Day 2: October 27th (Thursday at 1600-1900 UTC) there were in-depth presentations about the atmospheric and oceanic conditions during summer and fall 2022, and the seasonal forecasts for winter 2022-2023.
