Anderson's Seminar

Meeting to celebrate David Anderson's career!

David Anderson is retiring from ECMWF. To celebrate David's outstanding contribution to the understanding of large-scale ocean-atmosphere interaction, oceanic data assimilation, seasonal predictions and several other areas, we are organising a one-day event. The programme promises to be very attractive with talks given by many renowned scientists.

The date is Friday 23 June 2006 and the venue is ECMWF, followed by a reception. Places may be limited by space constraint. The programme is now available!
