Extrop Winter School on Polar Lows

On the behalf of EXTROP, I organized the Extrop Winter School on Polar Lows held at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Bergen, Norway, 9 and 10 January 2008. I was greatly supported by Erik Kolstad, Tordis Lerøen and Stephan Bakan. The school was aiming at communicating scientific topics of Polar Low research to the Extrop PhD-students as well as to the further attendees. The school's schedule can be found here.
