Call for Papers
Background and Objectives
Following the success of the first GODAE symposium held in Biarritz,
France in 2002 (En route to GODAE) and the second one held in St.
Petersburg, Florida, USA in 2004 (GODAE in Operation: Demonstrating
Utility), GODAE is holding a third symposium in Beijin, China in
October 16-18, 2006. This symposium will be focused on the development
of ocean data assimilation and its applications in Asia and Oceania. It
will also specifically address two general and important issues for
GODAE: observing systems and error covariance. GODAE data assimilation
efforts critically depend on sustained operation of remote sensing and
in-situ observing systems (e.g. satellite altimetry, Argo). The
specification of data and model error covariance remains a critical
issue for any data assimilation system. The emerging utilizations of
GODAE products for ecosystem and coastal research and operation provide
stringent assessments of the quality of GODAE products for such
applications. The specific requirements of these applications are
important to the GODAE product developers as well as to the
understanding of the need of large-scale observational systems.
Accordingly, the symposium will include the following four themes:
1. Observing systems
l Review/status of the global ocean observing system.
l Contribution by various observing systems (e.g. impact studies).
l GODAE pilot projects (Argo, GHRSST-PP) activities in Asia and Oceania.
2. Data and model error covariance
l Quantification of data error.
l Understanding and modeling the source of model errors.
l Practical implementation issues.
l Impact on Data Assimilation.
3. Marine ecosystem
l Contribution of GODAE to ecosystem modelling (e.g. Globec,Imber, JGOFS)
l Global and regional applications (especially in Asia and Oceania region)
l Requirements for GODAE systems
4. Coastal applications
l Use of open ocean systems to constrain coastal systems: technical and predictability issues
l Applications (especially in Asia and Oceania)
l Requirements for GODAE systems
Symposium Structure
The symposium will consist of
(1) Keynote speeches,
(2) General oral presentation,
(3) Posters, and
(4) Plenary discussion for each of the four themes described above if necessary.
