The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Summer Study Program

Abstract

The long-term goal is to train new scientists to conduct research, and to enhance the abilities of experienced research workers in geophysical fluid dynamics. The objectives are to help graduate students formulate and tackle innovative research problems in GFD. To promote an exchange of knowledge and ideas between investigators in the different scientific disciplines that deal with the dynamics of stratified and rotating fluids. To formulate tractible, important problems which are presently at the fringe of our understanding in the field of Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. To serve as a clearing house for the mathematical, experimental and computational techniques which serve astrophysics, climate science, geodynamics, meteorology and oceanography.
