The 2026 International Ocean Vector Winds Science Team meeting will be held Miami, Florida, USA on May 18th - 21st.

Summary talks will be invited on the following topics (feel free to volunteer to coauthor). Posters on the following topics may be submitted as usual.

The organizers plan to have more discussion on all topics, with extended discussion on the first four topics. Consequently, we would appreciate more presentations by groups, and acknowledge that there are likely to be more poster presentations than in prior face to face meetings.

1. Meteorology
2. Oceanography
3. Air-Sea Interaction
4. Programmatic Talks
5. High Resolution Instrument Design, Capabilities, Science and Operations
6. Combining Observations and Theory to Understand Air-Sea Coupling Processes
7. Calibration and Applications of Extreme Winds
8. Mission Updates
9. Retrieval Methodologies & Validation

Suggestions for contributions on ocean vector wind science topics in other areas are welcome as well.

For reference, contributions to past meetings are accessible at the Past Meetings page.

Abstract deadline: February 25th, 2026

Registration deadline: March 18th, 2026

Presentation submission deadline: March 18th, 2026

Lightning poster talks have a one slide limit. The goal is in interest people in the poster rather than explain the nuances of the results. These slides should be sent to Mark Bourassa no later than May 4th. Format of these slides is pdf. Mark will order these into one file, following the order in the agenda.

Poster size limits are TBD. A limited number of wide posters are possible on a first come first serve basis.
