Forthcoming meetings
OpenIFS user meeting, 4-6 June 2013, Helsinki
Second call
Please register by 19 May 2013 by e-mailing victoria.sinclair@helsinki.fi
OpenIFS is an ECMWF led project to provide an easy-to-use and exportable version of the IFS forecast model. Use of the OpenIFS is gradually increasing in research and academic groups in Europe. This meeting will bring together OpenIFS users and developers to share experiences, discuss plans, and learn more of the OpenIFS in practical sessions.
The draft programme is at the end of this message. User presentations are most welcome, and can be included into the programme. Please send the title to victoria.sinclair@helsinki.fi by 19 May 2013.
