Ocean Modelling Meeting
The 2023 Ocean Modelling SIG meeting will be held on the 5th and 6th of September at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton.
The format will be the same as previous years; 8 minute talks with a couple of minutes for questions. As with previous years, we intend it to be informal with a student-centric focus and take the broadest possible meaning of “ocean modelling". There is likely to be a small charge to cover the cost of tea/coffee breaks and lunches during the meeting. An additional £26 will cover the meeting dinner on the evening of the 5th at the Dancing Man Brewery.
If you’d like to attend the meeting, please use the link below to register and provide a talk title if you want to speak:
