We are pleased to invite you to a WHIRLS Meeting at the Radisson RED Hotel, Glasgow (Saturday 28 February 2026, 09:00–16:00) following Ocean Sciences Meeting. 

 

During this event, you will receive a concise overview of the objectives, strategies, and ongoing work within WHIRLS. The primary focus of the meeting will be the planning and design of the major WHIRLS field campaign, which will include both in-situ and autonomous ocean observations, as well as an actual status of the modelling activities.

 

We would like to discuss opportunities for collaboration and are very interested in your perspectives and expertise regarding potential future avenues.

 

We kindly ask you to register below if you plan to join the meeting as seats are limited. 

 

Kind regards,
