“Exchanging Numerical Coastal Modelling Experiences for Applications in the Mediterranean Region”
(8:30-12:30) 5th March 2010 Germir Palas Hotel, Istanbul
On the occasion of the 10th MedGOOS Annual meeting and the MOON Assembly (3-5th March 2010) that was held in Istanbul, a half-day seminar on numerical coastal modelling experiences for the Mediterranean was organised by the MedGOOS Secretariat. The Seminar was held in the morning of Friday 5th March and ended at 1pm. The Seminar was hosted in Turkey on the kind invitation of Emin Ozsoy from the Institute of Marine Sciences (METU), and with the support of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research.
The Seminar was intended to bring together experts from key institutions that are working on high resolution modelling activities of the coastal marine environment. The main targets of the Seminar were to:
- present state-of-the-art expertise on the subject;
- highlight the relevance of applications in coastal environments in the Mediterranean;
- showcase the most recent advances in coastal numerical models, and exchange experiences between research groups.
This seminar served as an occasion to bring together partners that have pledged to support the Al-Bahri project with coastal model implementations.
Speakers from specialised research centres were engaged to make state-of-the-art presentations on the subject.
The seminar was open to participation beyond MedGOOS and MOON.
