Title: Oceanic Observations and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics<br>
<br>
Description<br>
<br>
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.<br>
