Workshop Abstract Submittal Form

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, no later than Sunday, May 10, 2009. The preliminary agenda will be distributed, together with the abstracts, by the end of July. 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. performance of layered ocean models coupled to an atmosphere/ice component
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

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.

Future notices will be sent only to recent workshop attendees and to those from whom we have heard this year.
