<div class="postbody">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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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..<br>
<br>
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.<br>
