They are free and public MS Teams webinars. The corresponding links to dial will be published on this website.
In our 3rd RAVE FORUM we hosted the BSH with an impulse talk on FINO measurement platforms 1, 2 and 3 in the German bight and in the Baltic Sea. This was followed by a vivid discussion on the use of long term meteorological measurements and the future of the FINO platforms between the participants from industry, research & academia and the public authorities. In case you could not participate, you can find the presentation here.
The topic of our RAVE Forum #2 was "Sea State Measurements and Simulations".
You will find more information on the presentations in the box below.
