2015 Workshop |
Last revised: 31 January 2005 |
The topics of coupling sea-ice models to layered/hybrid ocean models and the impact of sea-ice on water mass evolution and transformation in model results will be the focus of a substantial part of this year's workshop. General sessions on recent advances in layered or hybrid ocean modeling, potential model applications, and scientific results will also be held.
All interested parties (users and non-users) are cordially invited to attend. As in the past, we require that those who wish to make a presentation (oral or poster) have hands-on experience with layered/hybrid models that include a layer thickness tendency equation. If you are interested in attending but prefer not to present a talk or poster, please tell us which specific topics you would like to see covered.
We will send future mailings regarding this meeting only to those who indicate interest in receiving them. We ask that you let us know by October 1st (by e-mail to linda.smith@rsmas.miami.edu) whether or not you are likely to attend, so that we can make inquiries regarding hotel space. Information on hotel reservations and the "call for papers" will be sent out by November 1st.
Please pass this invitation on to people whom we may have overlooked when making up the mailing list. This list presently includes (a) attendees of the previous workshops; (b) known past and present users of MICOM/HYCOM and other layered/hybrid models; (c) colleagues with whom we had contact this year regarding possible use of layered models; (d) funding agency representatives.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Miami in January.

Call for Papers
The focus topic for the 2005 workshop will be the coupling of sea-ice models to layered/hybrid ocean models and the impact of sea-ice on water mass evolution and transformation in model results. We are requesting abstracts for presentations (oral or poster) on this topic, as well as on general layered or hybrid modeling issues, potential model applications, and scientific results. Our customary requirement for acceptance of an abstract is that talks or posters must address the presenter's own experience with layered or hybrid ocean models.Giving a talk or presenting a poster is not a requirement for attending the workshop. However, if you do wish to contribute, we hereby request that you write a 10- to 15-line mini-abstract, in PLAIN (ascii) text, and e-mail it to linda.smith@rsmas.miami.edu no later than Friday, December 10, 2004. The preliminary agenda will be distributed, together with the abstracts, before mid-January. Prompt submission of abstracts is requested and recommended, since the number of submissions may necessitate a limit to the number of oral presentations.
If you intend to present a talk or poster, please state what audio-visual equipment you require, if any. Please consider the following list of suitable workshop topics for talks or posters, and indicate under which heading(s) you would like your contribution to be listed. You are welcome to add topics along similar lines.
a. coupling of sea-ice models and impact of sea-iceThe time allotted for each oral presentation will depend upon the number of abstracts accepted. As a rough guideline, we suggest that 20-minute talks are appropriate.
b. atmosphere-ocean coupling issues
c. open boundary conditions; grid nesting
d. data assimilation issues
e. mixed layer dynamics and mixed layer/layered model interactions
f. physics improvements - equation of state, vertical coordinate, etc.
g. numeric improvements - stability, accuracy, computational modes, etc.
h. model/model or model/data comparisons
i. interaction of ocean flows with topography
j. biogeochemical modeling
k. computer hardware issues - massive parallelization, etc.
l. model documentation

Hotel Information
The following hotels are listed approximately in the order of their distance from RSMAS. Most offer special rates for University of Miami visitors, indicated by a code marked "UM" or "RSMAS". In order to obtain these rates, you must mention the code at the time a reservation is made. Rates shown are per room, per night. 13% tax is additional.Clicking on each listed hotel name will provide more information via a link either to the hotel's home page or to its entry on http://miami.hotelguide.net/, a web site that lists numerous hotels in the Miami area. Most of these links will include a map; some of the hotels are marked on an overall map of the Miami area. Also see the "Directions" section below.
Additional hotels with UM rates can be found at http://www.miami.edu/travel/. When reserving at any hotel, it is suggested that you inquire about the availability (and cost) of parking if you plan to rent a car.
Directions
Directions at Miami airport:
If you are not planning to rent a car at Miami airport, take a "Super Shuttle" van (about $25) or a metered taxi (about $35) from the airport to your hotel. Taxis and shuttles to Miami Beach, to Key Biscayne, and to Coral Gables operate on a flat rate basis depending on the area; ask the dispatcher about these rates.
If you are planning to rent a car, and if you are unfamiliar with Miami, be aware that streets and signage in the 'Triangle' car-rental area across from the airport are somewhat confusing to newcomers. Be sure to obtain a more detailed map and clear directions before setting out.
Directions to hotels:
From Miami airport:
Head south on LeJeune Rd. from the car rental area, then east on State
Road 836.
Then...
To Brickell Avenue:
Head east on 836 to I-95. Take I-95 south, past downtown, to Rickenbacker
Causeway exit. Take the first hard left at traffic light at base of exit ramp
(S.E. 25th Rd.), go 2 blocks to Brickell Ave. Hampton Inn is on that corner.
Turn left on Brickell to reach the Sheraton.
To Coconut Grove:
Head east on 836 to I-95. Take I-95 south, past downtown, to Rickenbacker
Causeway exit. Take second left at base of exit ramp, then turn right
at first traffic light (follow signs to Vizcaya and Mercy Hospital). Proceed
south on Bayshore Dr. to hotels.
To Key Biscayne:
Follow directions to RSMAS, below. Continue east/southeast on Rickenbacker
Causeway past RSMAS, through Crandon Park, into the village of Key Biscayne
(approx. 2 miles from RSMAS). Turn left off Crandon Blvd. to reach hotels
on Ocean Dr.
To Coral Gables:
Head east on 836 to I-95. Take I-95 south, past downtown, until the
Interstate ends and the road becomes
U. S. 1 (S. Dixie Highway).
Downtown Coral Gables can be reached by turning right onto Bird Rd. (off
S. Dixie Hwy.) and then right onto Ponce de Leon Blvd. (If
you venture into Coral Gables, you need a map.) Continuing
down Dixie Hwy. will take you to the University of Miami main campus.
To Miami Beach (Art Deco district):
Head east on 836 and continue east as it becomes Interstate 395 (follow
signs to Miami Beach). After the major bridge alongside the Miami Herald
building, you will be traveling along the MacArthur Causeway across the
Intracoastal waterway. At the east end of the Causeway, continue straight
east (i.e., do not take Alton Road exit). You will be on 5th St. Ocean Dr.
is the last street (running N/S) before the ocean. Collins Ave. is the
street just before Ocean Dr. Turn left (north) on one of these streets into
the hotel area.
To RSMAS:
The entrance to Rickenbacker Causeway is at the intersection of the south
end of Brickell Ave. and the north end of S. Bayshore Dr. (see map). If you
are traveling south along Brickell Ave. or north along S. Bayshore Dr., you
will see signs for the Causeway. If you
are coming from the south on Dixie Hwy., bear to the right just before Dixie
turns into I-95 (this is a few blocks north of the light at S.W. 16th Ave.).
If you are coming from Miami Beach, take I-395 west to I-95 south, and then
take the Rickenbacker Causeway exit (this will take at least 30 mins. in
morning traffic). There is a $1.00 toll for the causeway. Head east on
Rickenbacker Causeway, over the bridge. RSMAS is located 1.5 miles past the
bridge, on the right, just after the Miami Seaquarium. Signs will direct
you to the meeting. Upon arrival at RSMAS, please park
outside of the gate.
The meeting will take place in the Auditorium on the RSMAS campus. The Auditorium is attached to the Marine Science Center building (MSC), which is on the Bay and which is the farthest building away from the RSMAS entrance gate. MSC is also identified as the building in which the Commons is located.
If you have any questions, please contact us at any time. We look forward to seeing you.
