On the occasion of the 10th MedGOOS Annual meeting and the MOON Assembly (3-5th March 2010) that will be held in Istanbul, a half-day seminar on numerical coastal modelling experiences for the Mediterranean is being organised by the MedGOOS Secretariat. The Seminar will be held in the morning of Friday 5th March and will end before 1pm. The Seminar is 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 is 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 are 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 will be also an occasion to bring together partners that have pledged to support the Al-Bahri project with coastal model implementations.

Speakers from specialised research centres will be engaged to make state-of-the-art presentations on the subject.

The seminar is open to participation beyond MedGOOS and MOON. Interested participants are asked to register by sending an email message to:
