The WISE meetings aim to deepen the knowledge of the physical processes
involved in wave development and evolution in basin-scale and coastal
environments, and to improve the related numerics. Without any written
proceedings, but based only on direct oral presentation of the latest
results, it avoids any formalism connected to the way the results
are passed to the audience.
Wind waves represent a basic parameter of interest for marine
engineering and military applications. In the open sea they dictate the
design and operational conditions of offshore structures. Close to the
coast the design and planning of any marine structure and operational
activity depend on them and on the local environment they create.
On a wider perspective, wind waves are the tuning knob to regulate all
the transfers that take place at the air-sea interface, e.g. momentum,
energy, humidity, heat, aerosol. This transfer plays a key role for
atmosphere and ocean dynamics and quality at a variety of scales.
All these aspects are part of the subjects of discussion
and research at WISE.

The NOAA Center for Weather and Climate Prediction (NCWCP) resides on a
10-acre section of the University of Maryland's Research and Technology
Park, known as "M-SQUARE".
The state-of-the-art NCWCP building consolidates several NOAA organizations including:
The National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP)
The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
(NESDIS), Office of Research and Applications and Satellite Services
Division
The Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), Air Resources
Laboratory
At the entrance of the NCWCP building is the Conference Center. It is
outside of the security section, and accessible without a clearance. For
those wishing to visit anyone inside the security section, a permit will
have to be arranged ahead of time. Please note that security
clearance cannot be arranged during the conference. If you wish to
arrange a visit, please contact
Dr. Hendrik Tolman as soon as possible.
The Conference Center consist of an Auditorium and several break-out
rooms. All are equiped with the typical audio-visual capability
from a Windows workstation. Note that presenters will not be able to hook
up their own laptop to the audio-visual screen. Free open-access WiFi
will be available in the auditorium and conference break-out rooms.
There is free onsite parking for conference members.
The DC Tour and Dinner will take place on Wednesday the 24th of April.
Boxed lunches will be provided this day (if you have special dietary
needs, please be sure to mention it in the Comments section of the
Registration Form).
The restaurant is located at:
1101 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20004, and is within easy walking
distance of the Mall. Dinner will be at 6:30pm.
To return to your hotel,
Metro Center is just 3 blocks north of the restaurant.
The metro station is just over half a mile (1 km) away from the NCWCP. Instead of
walking around on River Road to University Research Court, there is a
slightly shorter walking path that can be taken (the dashed yellow line):
There is the
"River Road-109 Shuttle" that runs from the College Park Metro station to our
building year-round, Monday through Friday except on Federal Holidays. It
runs every 15 minutes from 6:00 until 9:00 AM and again from 3:00 until 6:00 PM.
This airport is on the Yellow and Blue lines of the Metro system. The metro fare to
College Park is approximately $5.00.
Super Shuttle: Approximately $28.00 one-way.
Taxi: 15 miles / 25 kilometers. Approximately $30.
The
Washington Flyer bus goes non-stop between
the Dulles Airport and the West Falls Church Metro Station for $10 one-way ($18 round-trip).
The Metro fare to College Park is approximately $5.75
Super Shuttle: Approximately $39.00 one-way.
Taxi: 58 miles / 67 kilometers. Washington Flyer Taxi approximately $80.
There are many
Restaurants in the College Park area,
all of which require driving a short distance from NCWCP.
For convenience, you may also pre-order boxed lunches that will be available at the
conference site via
Kloud Cafe.
The choices will appear when you click on the day
for which you wish to order. Payment is through credit card (Mastercard,
Visa, or American Express), and the page will appear after you hit the "Submit"
button.
There are many hotels near the NCWCP in a variety of price ranges.
The University of Maryland maintains a list of off-campus
Accomodations. The hotels they list in
College Park are mostly along Baltimore Avenue and are mapped here:
The lowest marker (blue with a dot) is the location of the NCWCP. Click on
Hotels near College Park for a larger
interactive map.
In addition, since the NCWCP is accessible by Metro certain hotels in the
DC area will also be an option. Because of this we will not make any
recommendations or reserve blocks of rooms.
