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.

Plus student exercises

Publication

Motivation

• Long term record of contents

• Additional return for lecturer effort

• Attractive to funding agencies

• Demonstration of dynamics/progress of field

• New results and new lecturers/perspectives

Constraints

• New / unique areas of content

• Lecturer preparation of material

• Editing process

• GODAE symposium special issue

Format

• OO Special Issue

Revised Proposal

REVISED PROPOSAL

• Revised date January 2010

• Managing budgetary risks (moving away from the final symposium)

• Fall within a different budget cycle

• The hope is for stronger commitments amongst the agencies

• Still competing with funding for the GODAE office extension

• Revised context

• GODAE moving to GODAE follow on

• ET-OOFS being formed

• Summer school curriculum should reflect this

• Science plan

• Delayed awaiting confirmation of the composition of the school and budget
