Greetings Fellow DOME participant,

The fall DOME workshop will be held on Thursday and Friday, November 1 and 2, 2001, here at NOAA/GFDL, in Princeton, New Jersey.

This workshop will be focussed on (1) examination of preliminary results and refinement to the experimental strategy for idealized (Phase I) experiments, (2) the status of the Realistic Outflow (Phase II) scenarios, and (3) plans for quasi-global simulations. The discussions at this workshop will be principally focussed upon these 3 phases of the intercomparison, although some limited time will be available for presentation of new developments since the DOME meeting in Miami. Please contact me (rwh@gfdl.noaa.gov) if there are momentous new developments in the observation, simulation, or parameterization of overflows, but also please understand that discussing and interpreting or planning the various phases of the intercomparisons is the primary purpose of this meeting. As agreed at the first DOME meeting in Miami, a third DOME meeting, tentatively set for the summer of 2003, is planned as a venue for much broader discussions of all aspects of overflows and mixing.

Please contact me (rwh@gfdl.noaa.gov) as soon as possible if you will be attending so that I will know which room here at GFDL to reserve. (If you have previously indicated that you are likely to attend, confirmations would still be appreciated.)

- Bob Hallberg
