Programme, presentations (and abstracts) made at the workshop

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.
