CROCO is a modeling platform to study the regional, coastal and nearshore ocean (ocean dynamics, sedimentary dynamics, biogeochemistry) on time scales ranging from event to multi-decadal, and spatial scales ranging from kilometric to metric resolutions. CROCO’s flexible equation system, including non-hydrostatic capabilities, and its computational efficiency enable it to simulate very fine scales (especially in the coastal area up to individual waves), and their interactions with larger scales. It is the oceanic component of a complex coupled system including various components, e.g., atmosphere, surface waves, marine sediments, biogeochemistry and ecosystems.

From 25 November – 6 December the 3rd CROCO Ocean Modelling summer school will be held at the Centre for High Performance Computing in Cape Town, South Africa.

The first week will focus on the Basics (for beginners and those who need a refresher) and the second will be a choice of EITHER CROCO-BGC coupling or CROCO-WRF coupling. You can apply to attend both weeks, or just one (bear in mind that the second week requires that you already know the basics of running your own simulation).
