FOO / ACOMO 2022
The theme for the combined workshop this year is ‘Improving Integration to Optimise Operational Outcomes’.
Our goal for this meeting is to stimulate debate about ways that our observations, and outputs from the models into which they flow, can be used to support maritime safety and security, maximise the productivity of marine industries while minimising environmental impacts, and assist in the management of biodiversity and coastal environments.
The combined workshop will feature invited speakers, submitted abstract presentations and finish with a panel discussion on the following topic:
How can we integrate existing models to develop a skillful National Scale Prediction System?
