The organizers are indebted to many people who provided valuable assistance in planning of this workshop. We would especially like to thank the sponsors: the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center, and the Meteorological Service of Canada. The committee would also like to thank those who submitted papers and posters for the workshop program, and those who served as chairmen for various sessions. Special thanks are due to Maria Carney and Eileen Jeffers who handled most of the administrative and logistics details for the Workshop, and also assembled and produced the camera-ready copy of the Preprints.
Funding for this Workshop was provided, in part, by the Canadian federal Program of Energy Research and Development (PERD).
