12. Objectives: • Form/motivate the young scientists and professionals that will be the principal movers and users of operational oceanographic outputs in the next 10 years. • Bring together leading scientists to summarize our present knowledge in ocean modeling, ocean observing systems, and data assimilation to present an integrated view of oceanography. • In addition to formal lectures, shorter talks by experts in the field will expose the participants to a wide range of applications. • Attendees will also have the opportunity to present their work via poster sessions. • Lecture notes will be reviewed by the attendees and will be published as a proceedings volume. • Principal topics: Ocean modelling, ocean satellite and in-situ data, data assimilation, validation, integration, systems, and products. • A number of presentations will be made concerning uses of operational oceanography. • Specific emphasis will be given to, but not limited to, operational oceanography in the Indo-Pacific region. • Attendance: The school is directed to graduate students, post-docs, and young scientists and to professionals that are or will be involved in the development of integrated oceanography. It is open to all countries. • Special effort made to include participants from developing countries for knowledge dissemination.

14. Publication • Motivation • Long term record of contents • Additional return for lecturer effort • Attractive to funding agencies • Demonstration of dynamics/progress of field • New results and new lecturers/perspectives • Constraints • New / unique areas of content • Lecturer preparation of material • Editing process • GODAE symposium special issue • Format • BMRC Research Report • OO Special Issue

15. Revised Proposal

17. REVISED PROPOSAL • Revised date January 2010 • Managing budgetary risks (moving away from the final symposium) • Fall within a different budget cycle • The hope is for stronger commitments amongst the agencies • Still competing with funding for the GODAE office extension • Revised context • GODAE moving to GODAE follow on • ET-OOFS being formed • Summer school curriculum should reflect this • Science plan • Delayed awaiting confirmation of the composition of the school and budget
