[MITgcm-support] Ocean Sciences Meeting: ocean modelling session

[Michael Bates]

Dear MITgcm folks,

If you are considering attending the 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting from 
February 23 to 28 meeting in Hawaii, we would like to bring to your 
attention a session on "Physical and biogeochemical ocean modeling: 
development, assessment and applications" (session description below).

Abstracts are open until the 4th of October.  Further details about the 
conference and abstract submission can be found on the conference 
website: http://www.sgmeet.com/osm2014

If you know of colleagues who might be interested or salient email 
lists, we would appreciate you forwarding this email to them.

Sincerely,
Michael Bates, Stephen Griffies, Baylor Fox-Kemper, Todd Ringler

Session Description:
Physical and biogeochemical numerical ocean models of varying complexity 
are used routinely by many oceanographers. Ocean models are often 
coupled to other models, such as sea-ice, land-ice and atmospheric 
models. This session provides a forum to discuss the "science behind the 
science" of ocean model development and associated fields. This can 
include, but is not limited to: discretization techniques, basic 
algorithm development, physical approximations, subgridscale 
parameterization development, trophic levels, monotonic/conservative 
schemes for nutrients, methodologies for code development, 
standardization and distribution, coupling issues, data assimilation 
techniques, the development of test cases for model assessment, 
parameter sensitivity studies, results from model assessment and 
inter-comparison, the innovative use and application of ocean model code 
and studies that highlight successes, deficiencies or biases in model 
code, approximations or parameterizations.
