The Scientific and
Technical (S&T) Workshop of the Data Buoy Cooperation Panel (DBCP) has
become an important forum for stimulating discussion among data buoy
operators, designers, and data users. This
year’s workshop was held on Monday 19 October 2016 in Geneva, Switzerland,
in conjunction with the 31st Session of the DBCP (Geneva,
19-23 Oct. 2015).
The interest and
participation of oceanographic and marine meteorological experts in the
activities of the DBCP is high. The DBCP Scientific and Technical Workshop
presents an ideal opportunity for scientists, operators, and manufacturers
to relate their experiences, to exchange knowledge, and to build on or
learn from the innovations, developments and good practices of their
peers.
The theme of the
Workshop was “Buoy Science, Technology, and Instrumentation”.
Presentations were encouraged in the following areas: (i)
sustainable ocean
observations in support of numerical models, (ii) marine meteorological
and oceanographic instrumentation, calibration, and
traceability; (iii) technical development; (iv) operational enhancements;
(v) marine forecast and disaster risk reduction (DRR); and (vi) research
applications.
