The ROMS community has grown substantially all over the world and we are trying to accommodate such growth. The last European workshop was in Grenoble, France, in 2008. Since then we had a workshop in Sydney, Australia, in 2009 and Honolulu, Hawaii in 2010. We also tutorials in Santa Cruz, CA (2010, 4D-Var) and Hong Kong (2011, ROMS for beginners).
We eventually will go back to Europe... We are already planning for the next workshop in the fall (2012) in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). We have been planning this for couple of months now. We will send the announcements when we have all the relevant information. The user community in South America has grown nicely, specially in Brazil. They have been waiting for a ROMS workshop in Brazil for about three years.
We are also considering to have our second 4D-Var tutorial (a week long) on 2012. We will determine the place and date later...
Thank you for your interest
