-{{:pl-image_north_case26.png?280  |}}The International Polar Year 2007-2008 initiated an enhanced research activity on adverse weather in the polar regions, and in particular on mesoscale cyclones and polar lows in the Arctic sector of the Atlantic Ocean. Results of field studies and new theoretical investigations has gain new insight on this highly complicated phenomena.
-The workshop aims at bringing together scientists and weather forecasters to present the results of the recent activity on polar low research, to share new knowledge and to encourage discussions on improved forecasting and understanding of polar lows
+{{stars:pl-image_north_case26.png?280  |}}The fourth International Polar Year (IPY) of 2008-2009 initiated an enhanced activity on climate and weather research in the polar regions. A cluster of international project named IPY-THORPEX  was formed to focus research on challenges related to forecasting of adverse weather in the polar regions. One of the Norwegian contributions to the cluster was a three week field campaign at Andøy in Norther Norway, where the German DLR Falcon research air-craft was stationed during the campaign.  The main focus of the campaign was to obtain observations of polar lows.  One achievement was to capture a polar lows development during three stages on 3-4 March 2008 with dropsondes and Lidar observations.
