13th International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean 2023

The 13th International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean (IWMO) takes place in Hamburg in 2023, June 27-30.

The IWMO was first held in 2009 with the goal that modelers and observationalists interested in ocean processes and coupling with its surrounding can exchange their latest research and wide-ranging ideas in an intellectually rewarding and relaxing environment. The IWMO focuses on all aspects of ocean and coupled air-wave-sea, ice and current-sediment modeling: processes, analysis and prediction. The earth system is inter-connected on a broad range of temporal and spatial scales, and we welcome coastal, regional and basin-scale studies, as well as interdisciplinary topics. As in the past workshops, we particularly encourage participation from young scientists – graduate students and postdocs – and will again host the Outstanding Young Scientist Awards (OYSA) competition. IWMO participants are welcome to submit a manuscript to a special issue in Ocean Dynamics dedicated to the workshop.
