Bologna University (UNIBO), the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS) and the Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) jointly with the official opening of the BFM web site organized the “BFM official release meeting” that will be held on March 19 2013 at the CMCC premises in Bologna.
The aim of the meeting is to illustrate the model characteristics, provide highlights about the underlying theory and assumptions adopted to describe and simulate the marine biogeochemical cycling, the technicalities of the computer code and explore the possibilities for increasing the users audience and the potential Consortium Members.
BFM (Biogeochemical Flux Model) is an open source marine biogeochemical numerical model fully usable in coupled mode with ocean general circulation models. In order to develop and promote its use by the largest possible audience, the three institutions formed a consortium aimed to improve, manage and distribute the model.
All the marine science community is invited to participate.
Registration is required, please confirm your participation to :
The event will be broadcasted on the web via WebEx. To join the event via internet, please send a specific request to [email protected] before March 18, 2013 (12.00 pm).
