4th Workshop on the Use of Isentropic & other Quasi-Lagrangian Vertical Coordinates in Atmosphere & Ocean Modeling
When October 7-9, 2008
Where
NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory
Boulder, Colorado
Considerable development & testing of quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates has occurred since the last hybrid-Θ modeling work shop 4 years ago. This work, in both the atmosphere & ocean, has demonstrated further the potential for isentropic & other quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates to improve simulations & forecasts of geophysical fluid flows.
This workshop will include both invited & contributed papers on the latest progress in this rapidly developing field, including;
- Principles & design of quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates
- Atmospheric applications: weather prediction & general circulation simulation
- Ocean modeling applications
- Atmospheric chemistry applications
- Applications in regional process studies, both hydrostatic & non-hydrostatic
- Theoretical & technical issues
Schedule
- Coffee and a light breakfast will be available starting at 8:30am Tuesday 7 October, with registration for the meeting in room GC-402. The actual meeting starts at 9:00 am.
- For non-NOAA attendees, we recommend coming 20-30 minutes in advance to get through the security at the DOC/NOAA site on the first day.
- A discussion period will be held late Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning to identify key issues and reach conclusions and recommendations.
