In a bit more detail:

Mon (day 1): Introduction day – meeting objectives, UN Decade and other external engagements

Tue (day 2): OP symposium planning, TTs, OPOS overview, DINNER

Wed (day 3): System overview, observing systems, OPAS meeting

Thu (day 4): Science Day (mostly local scientist presentations)

Fri (day 5): Programme office updates, communications, future plans, SIGHTSEEING TRIP

A full agenda will be provided asap.

All OPST and OPAS members are warmly invited to attend the OPST-8 meeting in person.

We will also welcome guests and representatives from national research groups and institutes.

The OPST-8 presentation (pdf) can be viewed/downloaded from the list below.

Science Day presentation are available here.

The OPST-8 Science Day saw various contributions from the host country covering different topics, including “Regional and global operational ocean forecasting systems in Korea, user application of ocean forecasting systems and science in support of ocean prediction. Presentation were made as oral talks and posters.
