Interdisciplinary Research and Training at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program

Abstract

The long-term goals are to train new scientists to conduct research, and to enhance the abilities of experienced research workers in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD). This field is fundamental to the field of numerical forecasting of ocean, atmosphere and environment. 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 fluids, rotating fluids, nonlinear waves, bio-fluid dynamic interactions, etc. To formulate tractable, 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.
