Lagrangian Analysis and Predictability of Coastal and Ocean Dynamics 2000

Abstract The first Lagrangian Analysis and Predictability of Coastal and Ocean Dynamics (LAPCOD) meeting took place in Ischia, Italy, 2–6 October 2000. The material presented at LAPCOD 2000 indicated both a maturing of Lagrangian-based observing systems and the development of new analysis and assimilation techniques for Lagrangian data. This summary presents a review of the state-of-the-art technology in Lagrangian exploration of oceanic and coastal waters that was presented at the meeting.
