I am grateful to the Royal Meteorological Society for the award of a Legacies grant to cover part of the cost of attending the WCRP Special Workshop on the Climate Effects of Ozone Depletion in the Southern Hemisphere. The predominantly invitation-only meeting, held at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, Buenos Aires, had a format inspired by the Solvay conferences. A keynote speaker outlined the state of understanding on each topic, but the emphasis was on discussion and critical analysis of the issues.

Such a small, focused, meeting provided an excellent opportunity to publicise my recent work, and identify where it was useful to the community. I was fortunate to participate in many interesting discussions about current work and future requirements, and found the workshop to be both valuable and enjoyable.
