Ocean scientists, ocean observation specialists, industry representatives, service providers and users of ocean data & products from across the local, national & international operational oceanography community will gather in Halifax, Canada, for the GODAE OceanView Symposium, OceanPredict '19 (http://oceanpredict19.org/). The Symposium, aimed at advancing the science and application of ocean predictions, will take place on 6-10 May 2019. The event will present high-level speakers providing expert insight into the latest ocean research & development efforts, products and services and applications. OceanPredict'19 offers participants to engage in special science splinter meetings, poster sessions, booth exhibitions and discussions to explore and define the direction of future operational oceanography. As marine biogeochemistry observations are becoming increasingly needed to develop future ocean predictions, members of our community might be interested in contributing to one or more of the many themes selected for this symposium.

Abstract submission deadline: 7 December 2018.

Symposium Themes

GODAE OceanView continues to provided coordination and leadership in consolidating and improving global and regional ocean analysis and forecasting systems. The Symposium objectives include:

• Getting a common picture of future development in all aspects of Operational Oceanography
• Motivating intergrated international community projects to further advance science and benefits of Operational Oceanography
• Enhancing end-user awareness of present capacity and providing collaborative output of future in operational oceanography and end-user engagement
