6.1: OSC, Defence and OceanBestPractices (OBP)

Theme 6 – Splinter 1 Abstracts of session 6.1 Chaired by Andreas Schiller

The Canadian government and private sector’s co-investment in the Ocean Supercluster positions Canada to become a global leader in the knowledge-based ocean economy. Ocean resources are one of Canada’s most significant potential advantages, with the longest coastline and the fourth largest ocean territory in the world. The Ocean Supercluster fosters new partnerships with industry, government, and other partners, including indigenous communities, to accelerate innovation and commercialization and to drive increased sustainable economic growth from our oceans. Additional applications presented in this splinter session address defence applications and secure, permanent document repository of ocean-related documents. It aims to provide a discovery point for research groups to search and find community accepted existing ocean best practices.

3.2: Forecasts and nowcasts from models of ocean, atmosphere, and ice II

Theme 3 – Splinter 2
Abstracts of session 3.2 Chaired by Dmitry Dukhovskoy

The overarching goal of the Theme 3 session is to bring forward the latest developments in ocean modeling and forecasting from a combined physical and biogeochemical perspective. The first two splinter sessions emphasize ocean, atmosphere, and ice forecasts and nowcasts. The third session focuses on biogeochemical and ecological applications. The fourth deals with the latest advances in sea ice modeling and prediction. Finally, the last session emphasizes the small scales.

Theme 5 – Splinter 2
Abstracts of session 5.2 Chaired by Susan Allen and Susan Kay

This session reflects the increasing number of earth system components now being run operationally in different centres.  A particular focus will be developments and challenges around the use of biogeochemical models in both real-time and reanalysis mode, including the observations used for assimilation and verification.  Applications to water quality, ecosystems and fisheries will also be covered along with forecast capabilities for waves, storm surge, extreme currents, oil drift, and search & rescue.
