MEAP-TT Workshop – July 2024
The MEAP-TT workshop will provide an opportunity for the MEAP community to
- restore in-person communication
- review MEAP-TT activities and future plans
- discuss advances and challenges in marine ecosystem analysis and prediction
- enhance collaboration among MEAP community and across the OceanPredict task teams
- plan for the collaboration with and contribution to the UN Decade Programmes.
The MEAP Task Team is focused on developing the underpinning science and tools that will further the integration of biogeochemical and ecosystem models into existing ocean operational systems. The Task Team’s mission is to advocate for an expansion of the ocean observing system with respect to biogeochemical and biological properties, to support method development for the assimilation and modelling of Essential Biogeochemical Variables (EBV), to exchange of scientific advances and transfer of capabilities between academic and operational centers of expertise, and to help bridge the gap with end-users.
The workshop will be organised as a side event on 12 July 2024 to the AMEMR Conference (8-11 July 2024)
