| 2015 Workshop |
| Last revised: 16 February 2006 |
The topic of assessing the performance of layered ocean models when such models are fully coupled to an atmosphere/ice model component will be the focus of a substantial part of this year's workshop. General sessions on recent advances in layered model applications and theory 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 either layered or hybrid-coordinate ocean models, defined here as models that allow layer thickness to vary in time by casting the continuity equation as a prognostic layer thickness tendency equation. Although such models have traditionally used isopycnic vertical coordinates, presentations on layered or arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) model approaches to other vertical coordinates are welcome.
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 ocean 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 February.

Call for Papers
The focus topic for the 2006 workshop will be assessment of the performance
of layered ocean models when such models are fully coupled to an atmosphere/
ice model component. We are requesting abstracts for presentations (oral or
poster) on this topic, as well as on general layered modeling applications
and theory, and on scientific results. Our customary requirement for
acceptance of an abstract is that talks or posters must address the
presenter's own experience with layered ocean models, defined here as models
that allow layer thickness to vary in time by casting the continuity
equation as a prognostic layer thickness tendency equation. Although such
models have traditionally used isopycnic vertical coordinates, presentations
on layered or arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) model approaches to other
vertical coordinates are welcome.
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 30, 2005. The
preliminary agenda will be distributed, together with the abstracts, before
the end of 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.
Future notices will be sent only to recent workshop attendees and to those
from whom we have heard this year.
a. performance of layered ocean models coupled to an atmosphere/ice
component
The 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. open boundary conditions; grid nesting
c. data assimilation issues
d. mixed layer dynamics and mixed layer/layered model interactions
e. physics improvements - equation of state, vertical coordinate, etc.
f. numeric improvements - stability, accuracy, computational modes, etc.
g. model/model or model/data comparisons
h. interaction of ocean flows with topography
i. coupling of sea-ice models and impact of sea-ice
j. biogeochemical modeling
k. computer hardware issues - massive parallelization, etc.
l. model documentation

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.

2006 Layered Ocean Model Users' Workshop
February 14 - 16
Head south on LeJeune Rd. from the car rental area, then east on State
Road 836.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 $1.25 automobile 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.
