[AO announcement] special session at next Ocean Sciences meeting

[Rob Scott]

Dear colleagues

Are you planning to attend Ocean Sciences March 2-7, 2008? Please 
consider the session described below. Please submit your abstract 
before Oct. 2.

Sincerely

Title: Oceanic Observations and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics

Description

Studies of oceanic observations addressing the fundamental principles 
of geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) are sought. Previous such 
comparisons have stimulated theoretical work and have led to novel 
methods of data interpretation. Traditional topics include Rossby 
wave propagation, eddy-mean-flow interaction, topographic effects, 
energy cascades, zonal jets, turbulent dispersion and the general 
circulation. Creative new uses of data are also encouraged, as are 
modeling studies that involve the application of GFD to realistic 
flows and idealized studies that make observable predications.
