The Second Xiamen Spring School on Ocean Dynamics (XMOD II)
May 6-10, 2019

由近海海洋环境科学国家重点实验室与海洋与地球学院物理海洋学系共同主办的第二届厦门海洋动力学春季讲习班2019年5月6日-10日在周隆泉楼A3-206举行。

The Xiamen Spring School on Ocean Dynamics (XMOD) aims at introducing fundamental ocean dynamics, from the basics to the research frontiers, to graduate students and early-career scientists. The topics cover a wide range of oceanic phenomena and processes. It has a specific theme for every course. For each course, prestigious scientists who have made seminal contributions to the theme-related field are invited to deliver principal lectures. The school, held over one to two weeks, will consist of:

• Principal Lectures: introducing theme-related basics and research frontiers given by the principal lecturers. The lectures will be given in English.

• Contributing Talks: covering broader materials presented by guest lecturers and school participants. The talks will be in either English or Chinese.

The first XMODmod (XMOD I), with the theme of Ocean Dynamics at Meso- and Submeso- Scales, was held on March 12–17, 2018 at the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science (MEL) of Xiamen University. The two principal lecturers for in XMOD I were Dr. Bo Qiu (University of Hawaii at Manoa) and Dr. Patrice Klein (Ifremer / CalTtech).

The second XMODmod (XMOD II) will be held on May 6-10, 2019. The theme of XMOD II is Upper Ocean Dynamics. The two principal lectures are:

Dr. Baylor Fox-Kemper
Brown University
Expertise: Ocean modeling, submesoscale dynamics, Langmuir turbulence

Dr. William D. Smyth
Oregon State University
Expertise: Turbulence theory and modeling, small-scale ocean physics

Coordinators:
