Preface

        The past decades have seen significant advances in numerical ocean modeling.  Together with advances in computer technology, models and modelers have become more sophisticated.  Models are now routinely used, not only for process studies to uncover dynamics and mechanisms, but also (in conjunction with field data) for ocean predictions and to help analyze and explain observations.  Increasingly, models are used to also help design field programs. The Princeton Ocean Model (POM) has been and continues to be a pioneering force in ocean research and modeling due to continued innovative improvements and new developments by its users.  This workshop aims to gather modelers, data analysts, and hopefully some observationlists to brainstorm recent advances in (1) ocean dynamics, current-sediment, current-wave and atmosphere-ocean coupled processes, (2) data and model analyses, (3) data assimilations and ocean predictions, and (4) numerical algorithms.  We will have INVITED SPEAKERS representing the broad range of interests from small-scale coastal to regional shelf/slope modeling to large-scale climate processes.  We welcome worldwide scientists and professionals to submit ABSTRACTS from these general broad fields.  While this will mainly be a workshop for POM’ers, we encourage users of other ocean models to also participate.  Participations from students and young scientists are particularly encouraged (see Outstanding Young Scientist Awards). The workshop venue will be in beautiful Taipei, Taiwan at the time of year when the northeast monsoon prevails and the weather is expected to be generally cool and dry.
