NSF Young Investigator

小行星94598356 这个NYI奖是为了支持LuAnne Thompson进行各种过程研究孤立的动力学特征（锋和深西部边界流），西赤道大西洋的运动学和动力学以及热带海洋环流的年际变化。她的许多新的研究领域更多的是面向物理而不是理论。她在麻省理工学院时获得了丹佛斯教学奖，证明了她作为一名教师的能力。她还教授研讨会， 博士后，她已经明确了自己在华盛顿大学的教学计划。

94598356 Thompson This NYI award is to support LuAnne Thompson to undertake various process studies of isolated dynamical features (fronts and deep western boundary currents), the kinematics and dynamics of the western equatorial Atlantic and interannual variability in the tropical ocean circulation. Many of her new research areas are more physically oriented than theoretical. She has demonstrated her ability as a teacher by receiving a Danforth Distinction for Teaching award while she was at MIT. She also taught seminars as a post-doctoral fellow, and she has clearly defined her teaching plan for the University of Washington.
