The call for application will be open soon

The School will introduce participants, with an emphasis on attendees from the Global South, to the GO-SHIP program, inverse models, international programs for observing systems, reanalysis products, and will stimulate their scientific involvement within existing programs.

The School will provide participants with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge in order to use, manipulate and analyze oceanographic data. The aims are threefold: (i) to use datasets from the Global Ocean Ship-based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) and inverse modelling techniques to compute oceanic transports; (ii) to analyze existing Atlantic observational arrays (e.g., OSNAP, RAPID, MOVE, SAMBA/SAMOC); (iii) to complement observational products with a variety of ocean reanalysis.
The School, organized over a 10-day period as an in-person event, will include theoretical lectures on the current state of knowledge as well as practical sessions with the development of student projects to provide a hands-on approach to the understanding of the material presented in the lectures.


Topics:

• Inverse models
• Observational time series
• Ocean models and reanalysis
