The Workshop requested abstracts that
addressed the following themes:
-
Operational Practices and Enhancements –
evaluation or analysis of operational performance or trials; data
communications and data assimilation; performance and efficiency
benchmarking; new systems and practices.
-
Technological Demands and Developments –
demands for enhanced observations collection technology; innovations or
developments in related marine observation systems; developments in
buoys/instruments (e.g. wave measurements).
-
Applications of Collected Data – research
and operational data applications; case studies.
-
Special Focus. In addition to the regular
themes, this year’s workshop will have a major focus on Marine forecast
and services, Numerical Weather Prediction, and coastal risk management.
Topics of interest are:
-
Marine forecast – National experience
with regard to marine forecast and impact of buoy observations.
-
Numerical Weather Prediction –
National experience with regard to NWP and impact of buoy
observations.
-
Use of wave information – The use of
wave information (in situ observations, satellite products, models)
for shipping, port management, and coastal risk management; and the
need for in situ observational data for the validation of wave
models and satellite wave products, and for specific coastal
applications.
-
Data timeliness – Improvement of data
timeliness by using specific data distribution systems via national
and/or international gateways, existing and new satellite data
telecommunication systems and their developments; DBCP drifter
Iridium Pilot Project.
Workshop Chairs:
-
Bill Burnett, NOAA National Data Buoy
Center (NDBC), USA
-
Johan Stander, South African Weather
Service
Session 1:
