Summer School on Combining Ocean Data and
Dynamics.
21-27 October, 2002
Summer School on Combining Ocean Data and Dynamics was held in Erdemli at the Institute of Marine Sciences, Middle East Technical University, Turkey on 21-27 October 2002. The main aim of the course was to provide the students with a basic grounding in the principles of the modeling and forecasting of ecosystem processes plus the experience in oceanographic database management, with special attention to the Black Sea region.
Lecturers were invited from Turkey, USA, Italy and Ukraine to cover a wide range of disciplines such as: • Coupled physical and biological modeling
• Satellite data processing and assimilation in to models
• Observation systems and data analysis
• Oceanographic Data Base Management
• Data Driven simulations and forecasting
Students were drawn from countries surrounding the Black Sea (Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia), mainly from the institutes – participants of the NATO SfP-971818 Project.

The practical component comprised a series of intensive training sessions with the Black Sea Database and special database management application OceanBase.
The CD with full set of materials of the Summer School "Combining Ocean Data and Dynamics" was prepared and distributed to the all participants. The CD includes presentations done by the lecturers, the most recent version of the OceanBase Explorer software system, and Historical Black Sea Database created in the framework of the NATO SfS TU-Black Sea Project. The database contains data for 116 variables from 271 data sets, including 8,364,731 data values for 26,035 stations.
