SOMaR-3 — 14–16 July 2015, Seattle
Third Workshop on Sensing the Ocean with Marine Radars
|
Objectives
|
In 2011, the first workshop on Sensing the Ocean with Marine Radar (SOMaR-1) concentrated on the scientific aspects of marine radar ocean applications and provided a forum for researchers to present and discuss their results, swap data and algorithms, and identify priorities for future research. SOMaR-2, and now the third international workshop, continue this series of interactive meetings for researchers in the field.
It is planned to have a series of presentations on different ideas and approaches with regards to sensing the ocean with marine radar and to provide lengthy periods for discussion of various approaches and their issues. So if you want to give a presentation on your marine radar approach, please leave out the introduction and background material and go straight to the description of your approach, what you see as the issues, and the data that you have been using. Presentations will be very informal, with multiple questions/discussion during the talk, so feel free to show unpolished, data-only viewgraphs.
The foremost goal of the workshop is to allow participants to understand the state-of-the-art in marine radar development, and to see if the community can reach a consensus regarding possible approaches, issues, and validation.
