Welcome

CELLO brings together international experts in ocean turbulence, air-sea-ice interactions, and computational methods to model and better understand ocean dynamics. The meeting will take place from September 16th to 18th, 2025, at Bucerius Law School in Hamburg.

Nearly 50 years ago, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, under the leadership of Klaus Hasselmann, recognized the ocean's crucial role in the climate system. Since then, advances in computational power and observational techniques have dramatically enhanced our ability to observe and simulate dynamics that were previously beyond our reach. These advancements now offer deeper insights into Earth's climate and its potential future changes, including how, where, and to what extent these changes might occur.

CELLO seeks to convene leading scientists from our field to share the latest research findings, explore future directions, and foster opportunities for collaboration.

To learn more about the conference themes and convenors please refer to the Conference Program. Submissions and registration will open on this website in Spring 2025.
