Coastal Ocean Circulation: A Gordon Research Conference

正在为联合赞助将于1993年6月14日至18日在NH的普利茅斯州立学院举行的戈登沿海海洋环流研究会议提供资金。该计划将是观测、理论和模型的平衡混合。重点主要放在物理海洋过程上。与会者将包括从事大陆架海洋学工作的科学家、高级研究学生、行业代表和政府项目经理。戈登研究会议的目的是为就热门和有前途的未来研究领域进行刺激和挑衅性的讨论提供一个环境。海岸研究是NSF和其他机构的高度优先事项。海岸海洋计划(COOP)是一个正在发展中的全球变化研究计划，一个大型的跨机构倡议正处于规划阶段。

Funds are being provided for joint sponsorship of a Gordon Research Conference on Coastal Ocean Circulation that will occur on June 14-18, 1993 at Plymouth State College, NH. The program will be a balanced mixture of observations, theory and modeling. The focus is strongly on physical oceanographic processes. Conference participants will include scientists, senior research students, industrial representatives, and governmental program managers working on the oceanography of continental shelves. The purpose of Gordon Research Conferences is to provide a setting for stimulating and provocative discussions on topical and promising future research areas. Coastal research is a high priority for NSF and other agencies. The Coastal Ocean Program (CoOP) is a developing global change research program, and a large interagency initiative is in the planning stages.
