8th Hybrid Coordinate
Ocean Model Workshop
August 19-21, 2003, NCEP, Camp Springs, MD

AGENDA

NOTICE: The Workshop will be held in the EMC conference room. Any attendees who have not received an email with directions should contact Mary.Hart (@noaa.gov).

THIS IS AN INFORMATION EXCHANGE MEETING. DO NOT HESITATE TO PRESENT THE NUTS AND BOLTS ASPECTS OF YOUR WORK.
Suggested time for the presentations is ± 15 minutes (unless otherwise indicated). In addition to a discussion of your results, it would be most useful to include in your presentation a status report as well as your vision for the following year.
