[MITgcm-support] Non-hydrostatic modelling workshop in Brest, France. October October 15-17, 2018.

[Jeroen Molemaker]

We recently completed an efficient, non-hydrostatic version of ROMS. It 
is currently in a beta testing phase but will be publicly available this 
fall.

In celebration of this fact we are organizing a workshop on the topic of 
small scale, non-hydrostatic ocean modeling in Brest, France, October 
15-17, 2018.

This workshop aims to advance our collective understanding of oceanic 
processes at scales of O(10m-1 km), their mechanistic functioning, and 
relevance for larger scales and the budget of the climate system. These 
scales span the range between submesoscale dynamics and isotropic 
boundary layer turbulence.The focus of the workshop is on numerical 
modeling of these scales, both in the surface layer as well as the 
bottom boundary layer.

Despite many recent advances, a gap still exists between the 
capabilities to model realistic ocean flow on the one hand, and LES of 
the turbulent boundary layer on the other hand. We invite participants 
and contributions to novel numerical approaches to bridge this gap in 
numerical modeling as well as applied studies that target ocean dynamics 
and its implications..

We trust that it will be an exciting event and hope to see many people 
attend. The workshop will be followed by a two days masterclass, aimed 
at graduate students and postdocs. The website is now open to abstract 
submission and registration. The deadline for abstracts is September 2, 
2018.

Please share this information within your department and with anyone you 
think that may be interested.

many thanks, and best regards,
