The Institute for Numerical Modelling Has Been Established

On December 30th, 2019 rector magnificus of the University of Latvia signed the order to form the Institute of Numerical Modelling (INM) under the Faculty of Physics, Mathematics and Optometry. The Institute is based on the Laboratory for Mathematical Modeling of Environmental and Technological Processes, established in 1994, which has grown radically over 25 years […]

78th Scientific Conference of the UL

Most likely, each of us has been in a situation where we have admired the achievements of someone truly outstanding – whether it be the subtle knowledge of music, the subtle ingredient that needs to be added for a meal to become a work of art, or simply the right word at the right time […]

A Review of the “Fimar for Web” Conference

Present the Present: FiMar for Web is a free, dynamic downstream coastal service for oceanography and marine meteorology for the Baltic Sea. The user may model the drift trajectories of objects of interest in a virtual environment. The service provides the present state, a one week hindcast and a two-day forecast, updated 4 times per […]
