Meeting Agenda:
This meeting is being structured to encourage collaborations
between biological and physical oceanographers, numerical
modelers, mathematicians and meteorologists who use Lagrangian
measurements, both in-situ and simulated, to understand and model
ocean and coastal dynamics. We ENCOURAGE you to present both a short
talk (16 min + 4 min Q/A) in the morning session and a poster with
details in the afternoon (This is not a strict requirement,
you can do just one or the other).
| Mon: | Session A | Lagrangian Observations and Instruments. |
| Tue: | Session B | Biological, Chemical, and Ecosystem Applications. |
| Wed: | Session C | Oil Spill Modeling and Lagrangian Prediction. |
| Thu: | Session D | Dispersion and Transport Theory. |
| Fri: | Session E | The Future of Lagrangian Exploration, Research, and Experiments. |
Presentations
Please bring your presentation on a USB 'flash drive'.
Please let us know if you will want to use transparencies.
We would like to avoid an early Monday morning rush. So, we will be loading presentations (and handing out name tags) on Sunday night from 5 pm to 9 pm. Also arrange with Ed Ryan (eryan@rsmas.miami.edu) to transfer for presentation electronically (ie email if possible, otherwise put it on an ftp site and email him the location).
Posters
We encourage people who give oral presentations to present also a poster
in the afternoon of their morning talk.
Posters can simply be made by hard copies of the presented material
or they can serve to show details not given in your morning talk.
The purpose of presenting a poster and having an afternoon
poster session is to encourage individual communication stimulated by
the morning presentation.
Posters should be limited to 180 cm x 100 cm (or less).
You will be able to, and we encourage you to,
hang your poster in the morning of your talk.
Note: Thursday's and Friday's Poster Sessions will be concurrent on Thursday afternoon.
Favorite Trajectories
To be scheduled
Please bring one or two "slides" highlighting your favorite
(quasi-) Lagrangian trajectory (or cluster) from drifter, float, buoy, glider,
animal-based measurements, numerical simulations, or theory for this mini-session.
To be scheduled.
Other Info:Wifi
Wifi should be available everywhere.
Social events include an icebreaker, Tom Rossby's birthday dinner,
and guided tours of the art deco district by a local expert.
The meeting is being structured so that there will be ample time for
scientific and social interaction.
