(HF radar, coastal observatories, cal/val sites, etc.)
– evaluation of coast-specific altimetry products
– improving regional atmospheric forecasts (Gulf of St
Lawrence), coupled modelling
– assessment strategies, error bars
• COSST/CSSWG workshop, U Miami, 10-12 Jan 2012, focus on
model assessment
– initiate pilot projects
