Objectives of Workshop | |
This workshop will primarily aim at discussing methodological developments in progress within the MFSTEP and MERSEA European projects concerning (1) the downscaling of basin-scale estimates and forecasts of hydrodynamical ocean models to regional and coastal (shelf) domains and specification of initial and boundary conditions; (2) data assimilation of local data not used or incompletely used in larger-scale models; (3) forecasting in the local models. The areas of interest will be the major coastal zones, with a particular focus on the near Atlantic and Mediterranean. We will also be seeking the point of view of regional and coastal modellers and forecasters within these two communities and outside of them. |
Finally, we will discuss the potential of these methodologies to address the needs of operational oceanography and the development of ocean services. For practical reasons and in order to facilitate discussion and the definition of main axes for the years to come, the attendance will be limited to partners in the aforementioned projects, invited colleagues, and their collaborators. Poster space will be provided if needed. MFSTEP partners will have the opportunity to publish their presented work in the Internet journal “EGU Ocean Science” (Dec 2005 deadline). |

Part 3 : Challenges and needs of coastal operational oceanography Here we will focus on several particular issues: quantitative estimation of coastal marine parameters, forecasting, and the R&D needed towards providing ocean services at the regional/coastal scales. One of the objectives of this session is to show where the need is in terms of downscaling in operational oceanography. Tentative list of talks by invited participants: 11:20 Pinardi et al.: Downscaling of models and of observational networks in MFS and MOON 11:40 Holt et al. : The Met Office view of regional and coastal operational oceanography 12:00 Obaton et al. : The MERCATOR view of regional and coastal operational oceanography 12:20 De Roeck et al. : The IFREMER view of regional and coastal operational oceanography 12:40 Buch et al. : The role of downscaling and coastal data assimilation in ECOOP 13:00 Lunch buffet (Lyot Room) Final words 14:00 Coffee available during discussions 14:00 Discussion: how can research help provide better services in coastal and shelf seas? (moderators: Holt, De Roeck) 15:00 De Mey : Discussion: Meeting wrap-up, remaining scientific challenges, opportunities for funding and collaborative work (moderators: De Mey, Barnier) 16:00 End of meeting 16:15 Bus to city centre |
