The 4th International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean (IWMO) takes place in Yokohama, Japan, May 21-24, 2012.
The 4th International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean was held on May 21–24, 2012 in the vibrant city of Yokohama on the Tokyo Bay, Japan. The Workshop was hosted by Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC)—the home of the famous “Earth Simulator”—one of the world's most powerful supercomputers dedicated for simulating the complex interactive processes of the earth and its environment. Over 100 researchers worldwide participated in the Workshop, which included two keynote lecturers, by Professor Mellor of Princeton University and Professor Yamagata of the University of Tokyo, and more than 80 oral presentations and 20 posters. The topics covered in the Workshop, as in the past IWMO's, are wide-ranging, from small-scale waves and estuarine processes to large-scale eddy and multi-decadal climate dynamics. In part thanks to the generosity of the host, a new record of 30 graduate students and postdocs participated in the Outstanding Young Scientist Award Competition, some with truly outstanding presentations of top scientific rigors.
