Background and Objectives

The workshop aims to bring together scientists across a broad spectrum of atmospheric and ocean sciences, including modeling efforts, the interpretation of data through analysis, and related observational studies. The workshop will cover topics ranging from air-sea interactions and various atmospheric and oceanic processes—including biogeochemistry and weather extremes—using approaches that span theoretical to applied and regional to global scales. We encourage presentations on topics such as idealized to high-performance modeling, data assimilation, theoretical or statistical data analysis, and data visualization of the outputs. Observational studies that validate, inform, and improve modeling efforts are also highly welcome. This workshop serves as the successor to the OFES Workshops.
