Metocean Advances

Monday, 5 May
Room 600
Technical Session
The session presents the latest developments in forecasting techniques using machine learning, with application to the Gulf of Mexico Loop Current and eddies. In addition, it includes studies to characterize the Loop Current system in numerical models and solitary internal waves. The session demonstrates applications of metocean data and methods to oil spill detection, design of offshore renewable facilities and calibration of safety factors.
