Objectives : The aim of this hands-on session is to explore different features and tuning possibilities with low-cost configurations of PISCES with one of the NEMO or CROCO ocean models. You will also learn the steps to add a new biogeochemical tracer to the ocean model of your choice, NEMO or CROCO, in a more self-paced session. An introduction to diagenesis and its modeling module or an introduction to the full-quota model will be given, followed by a relatively short hands-on session.

Practical information :

The training will take place from September 23 to 25, 2024 in Paris (10 people max.).

Registration is open to people with an academic background in oceanography and marine biogeochemistry and with a solid experience in using the PISCES model on one of the ocean platforms, NEMO and/or CROCO.

A good knowledge of the Unix environment is a prerequisite for this course.

Priority will be given to master and doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows.

Send an email describing your motivation to attend the course (1 page max.) and a CV (1 page max.) to formation_pisces@locean.ipsl.fr.

Sincerely,

Please reply before 15 September to help us organise the event.

Objectives : The aim of this practical session is to learn how to use the PISCES model and to explore different features and possibilities. A presentation will be given on the modelling choices, the code architecture and the main features of PISCES. You will explore the sensitivity of the PISCES model to a set of parameters on one of the ocean models, NEMO or CROCO.

Practical information :

The training will take place in Paris (LOCEAN) from 09 to 10 October 2023 (15 people max.)

Registration is open to people with an academic background in oceanography and marine biogeochemistry. Basic knowledge of the Unix environment is a prerequisite for this course. Priority will be given to master and PhD students and post-doctoral fellows.

Send an email describing your motivation to attend the course (1 page max.) and a CV (1 page max.) to formation_pisces@locean.ipsl.fr.

Travel and accommodation costs can be covered by the organising committee for a limited number of people, with priority given to candidates from the South. Our ability to cover travel and accommodation costs will depend very much on the number of participants and their country of departure. More detailed information on funding will be provided once the selection of candidates has been completed.

Sincerely,

The PISCES training team
