Objectives: Form/motivate the young scientists and professionals that will be the principal movers and

users of operational oceanographic outputs in the next 10 years. Bring together leading scientists to summarize our present knowledge in ocean modeling,

ocean observing systems, and data assimilation to present an integrated view of

oceanography. In addition to formal lectures, shorter talks by experts in the field will expose the participants

to a wide range of applications. Attendees will also have the opportunity to present their work via poster sessions. Lecture notes will be reviewed by the attendees and will be published as a proceedings volume. Principal topics: Ocean modelling, ocean satellite and in-situ data, data assimilation, validation,

integration, systems, and products. A number of presentations will be made concerning uses of operational oceanography. Specific emphasis will be given to, but not limited to, operational oceanography in the

Indo-Pacific region.

Attendance: The school is directed to graduate students, post-docs, and young scientists

and to professionals that are or will be involved in the development of integrated oceanography.

It is open to all countries. Special effort made to include participants from developing countries for knowledge dissemination.

Curriculum tasks

• Review the curriculum from the first summer school

• What is current/minimal updating and to be retained?

• What requires significant updating?

• Getting the balance right for operational oceanography

• What are unique / emerging areas since IGSS1

• Balance of foundation / leading edge science

• IT tools as part of curriculum

• Application content

• Coupled systems content

New areas in operational oceanography• Ocean data assimilation (what have we learned)

• Multi-variate assimilation

• Error covariances (Beijing symposium)
