Call for abstracts

Presentations (15 or 30 minutes oral slots or poster formats) may address any aspect related to the design of numerical methods for structured and unstructured-mesh oceanic models used for coastal, regional, and global applications. The scope is on the design, testing, and application of new numerical methods, and the assessment of methods currently used in existing state-of-the-art models.

This includes four main topics

• horizontal/vertical discretization techniques adapted to fixed/variable structured/non-structured meshes, and the associated time-integration techniques,

• the adaptation of numerical methods to physical constraints : monotonic/positive-definite schemes for passive tracers, the control of numerically-induced mixing, and more generally physics-dynamics coupling issues,

• Going beyong the hydrostatic and Boussinesq assumptions toward oceanic LES codes

• the development of semi-idealized test-cases and/or realistic configurations to exploring the merits of different numerical approaches and highlighting successes, deficiencies or biases in model code, approximations or parameterizations.

 A specific session will be dedicated to this last aspect. However, we also welcome a broader scope of presentations to more exploratory works on alternative discretization techniques and/or simplified equation sets.
