Joint Workshop of TRANSFER WP 5-7-8
on Numerical Models, Inundation Maps and Test Sites
On June 12-14,
2nd ANNOUNCEMENT
1. PREFACE:
In the memory of late Prof. Howell Peregrine who had such a close interest in WP5 and has given invaluable discussions during our kickoff meeting and also by e-mails afterwards. His memory, scientific enterprise, vigor, guidance and humanity will always remain within all participants in WP5
2. INTRODUCTION
This work package will strive to improve and make models
more widely applicable and obtain effective interaction between them. The WP
will also cover bathymetric data processing, development of new computational
tools including possibly additional tsunami for parameters and also understand
the effects of dispersion, friction, resolution requirements, and enhancement
of accuracy by adaptive mesh refinement or nested modeling. The aim is to
achieve high quality standardized models in Europe in TRANSFER, and thus
benefit the TRANSFER http://www.transferproject.eu
test sites in Europe, and hopefully additional sites in
Participation of WP5, WP7 and WP8 Partners of TRANSFER are essential for the Workshop. The participations of other partners are optional and they are welcome.

NOTES:
1. Before the Workshop we would like to collect the information about the tsunami models which are used by WP5 partners.
2. A bathymetric measurement program will be conveyed In Fethye bay from May 8 and will continue 7-10 days (planned). Any interested WP5 partners of TRANSFER can contact yalciner@metu.edu.tr
3. A Draft Document on the terminology in tsunami modeling will be provided to WP5, WP7 and WP8 partners in May 2007 for disussions, comments and improvements before the workshop.
