As in previous years this meeting will cover a wide breadth of topics, ranging from coastal modelling to global modelling, both short range and long term forecasting, and will include ice modelling and biogeochemical modelling within NEMO.It is hoped this meeting will allowing users to share expertise, exchange information on the ongoing projects using NEMO, and learn about plans for future developments from the NEMO systems team. The preliminary agenda is;

Tuesday 22nd, session 1: Development of NEMO: recent developments and plans from the systems team.
Tuesday 22nd, session 2: Use of NEMO for global ocean modelling
Tuesday 22nd, session 3: Use of NEMO for high resolution basin scale modelling
Tuesday 22nd, session 4: Use of NEMO for coastal ocean modelling
Wednesday 23rd, session 5: Investigating and improving physical processes within the dynamics (NEMO-OPA)
Wednesday 23rd, session 6: Investigating and improving processes within sea ice modelling (NEMO-LIM), biogeochemical modelling (NEMO-TOP), assimilation (NEMO_TAM) etc.
Wednesday 23rd, session 7: An opportunity for users to put questions to the NEMO systems team

Lunch :

Coffee breaks and buffet lunches will be organised for both days of the conference. A contribution of around £30 (for both days) will be asked to cover these costs.

Social Event

On the evening of the 22nd there is the option to join us on a boat cruise up the river Exe, with a hog roast dinner (a vegetarian option will be also available) finishing in Topsham where there will be the opportunity to visit some local pubs before returning to Exeter. Please let us know if you plan to join us for this (also please note if you require the vegetarian option), the estimated cost for this is an extra £25.
