Current Development in Shallow Water Models on the Sphere

Workshop March, 10–14, 2003 Garching, Germany

The goal of this workshop is to provide a clear overview of numerical methods currently used in various operational and academic models. Unlike traditional conferences, the main focus of this workshop will be on problems that surface during model development, possible deficiencies of the numerical methods and open questions. This approach is intended to provide insight into the characteristics of each method and to resolve some of their open questions.
