OpenIFS user meeting 2013

OpenIFS user meeting: 4-6 June 2013, University of Helsinki.

Second call

OpenIFS is an ECMWF led project to provide an easy-to-use and exportable version of the IFS forecast model. Use of the OpenIFS is gradually increasing in research and academic groups in Europe. This meeting will bring together OpenIFS users and developers to share experiences, discuss plans, and learn more of the OpenIFS in practical sessions.

Programme

User presentations are most welcome, and can be included into the programme.

The programme consists of a day of presentations with a keynote presentation by Prof Erland Kallen, ECMWF, and two workshop days using OpenIFS to run and visualize case studies of Hurricane Sandy.
