4th Argo Science Workshop Venice, 27-29 September 2012
The theme of the Argo workshop is to celebrate 10 years of progress for Argo and to prepare the next decade and new challenges for Argo. The 2.5 day workshop will include both oral and poster presentations. It will include a review of Argo achievements in ocean and climate research (e.g. heat and salt budget, large scale seasonal and interannual variability and ocean circulation, mesoscale variability, marginal seas, ocean analysis and forecasting) and float technology and science discussions on the development on the new phase of Argo for the next decade (sustaining Argo and developing extension towards biogeochemistry, deep ocean and polar regions).
The general objectives of the Workshop are (i) to stimulate more research using Argo data, especially in combination with altimetry, (ii) to entrain young scientists into the Argo community (iii) to strengthen communications between the Argo and altimetry groups (iv) to further increase the visibility of the Argo Program (v) to broaden the discussion of Argo’s future evolution.
Meeting registration will be via the altimetry symposium WWW site (http://www.altimetry2012.org). Participants are strongly encouraged to participate to both events (altimetry and Argo).We expect, in particular, that Argo scientists will submit papers in the following altimetry symposium session: Synergy between Altimetry, other data and models: "the integrated approach".
