Ocean Modelling in the Frame of Digital Twins

The EU-funded ILIAD Digital Twin of the Ocean project initiated a series of webinars and training sessions. These events cover topics ranging from technical to economics and policy. This activity aims to support communication across different disciplines, ease the design process and improve engagement with ILIAD project partners.

The fourth webinar was titled ‘Ocean Modeling in the Frame of digital twins’ and was held online last week.

This webinar introduced state-state-of-the-art Ocean modelling in the frame of digital twins. Examples from digital twins of the ocean illustrated the implementation of ocean models in thematic areas such as oil spills. Integration of machine learning algorithms will also be shown.

Ocean Modelling, Challenges and Perspectives

A senior scientist at SINTEF Ocean, Ingrid Ellingsen, made an overview of the current state of ocean modelling. To learn more, watch the video below:
