WISE 2013 group photo at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, DC, April 24 2013.
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:
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).
Old Town Trolley
Busses will pick up attendees and their guests at the NCWCP parking lot,
and will depart at 1:15pm on a fully narrated 2.5 hour tour of Washington, DC.
The tour includes stops at the
Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial,
the Lincoln, Vietnam, and the Korean Veterans
Memorials, and the
Iwo Jima Memorial. Attendees will be dropped off at 4:30pm
near the Smithsonian Foundation Castle in the
DC
National Mall area, and will have the chance to explore the
monuments and
Smithsonian Museums
independently for 1.5 hours before dinner. When planning your visit, you
may want to check the closing hours of the museums:
Museums with
extended Spring hours
All other
Smithsonian museums hours.
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 guest fee for the DC Tour and Dinner is US$130.00 (does not
include any drinks or desserts at Fogo de Chao).
* Sometimes the address comes up as "Riverdale" instead of "College Park"
More directions to the NCWCP are available as a PDF here.
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.
Super Shuttle: Approximately $32.00 one-way.
Taxi: 25 miles / 40 kilometers. Approximately $60.
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.
Here are some photos taken during the WISE 2013 tour and dinner.
