Considerable development & testing of quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates has occurred since the last hybrid-Θ modeling work shop 4 years ago. This work, in both the atmosphere & ocean, has demonstrated further the potential for isentropic & other quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates to improve simulations & forecasts of geophysical fluid flows.

This workshop will include both invited & contributed papers on the latest progress in this rapidly developing field, including;

• Principles & design of quasi-Lagrangian vertical coordinates
• Atmospheric applications: weather prediction & general circulation simulation
• Ocean modeling applications
• Atmospheric chemistry applications
• Applications in regional process studies, both hydrostatic & non-hydrostatic
• Theoretical & technical issues
