Interdisciplinary Research and Training at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program

地球物理流体动力学暑期项目（GFD）是一个为期十周的跨学科研究和研究生培训项目。该项目始于1959年，在伍兹霍尔海洋研究所举办了49年，目的是创造一种氛围，促进应用数学、天体物理学、流体动力学、地质学、地球物理学、气象学、海洋学、行星科学、工程学和物理学等广泛学科之间的思想交流。该计划的中心重点是对一小群研究生（通常为9或10人）进行研究培训，他们在夏季的大部分时间里负责进行一项高级研究项目，并在夏季项目结束时以口头和书面报告的形式展示他们的成果。这些研究项目由GFD的员工单独或联合监督，这些员工是一群参加暑期计划的人，他们是来自GFD各个领域的知名学者。每年，该计划都以与地球物理流体动力学相关的特定主题为主题。夏季以两周的主题讲座开始。应邀访问人员在整个方案的剩余时间内继续举办研讨会，既讨论与主题有关的工作，也讨论一般地球物理流体动力学的主题。这个想法是让参与者接触到一个新的主题，具有其特殊的现象学和技术，同时保持更广阔的视角，从而为跨学科的互动奠定基础。在未来的五年中，以下主题可能会被探索：非线性波、流体力学和生态系统、相干结构、浮力流和湍流转换。

The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Summer Program (GFD) is a ten-week program of interdisciplinary research and graduate training. The Program began in 1959 and has been held for all 49 years of its lifetime at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, with the purpose of creating an atmosphere to foster the transfer of ideas between a wide range of subjects including applied mathematics, astrophysics, fluid dynamics, geology, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, planetary science, engineering, and physics. The central focus of the program is the training in research of a small group of graduate students (typically nine or ten), who are charged with conducting an advanced research project for the bulk of the summer, and presenting their results in both oral and written reports at the end of the summer program. The research projects are individually or jointly supervised by members of the GFD staff, a group of summer-long participants in the Program who are established academics from the diverse fields represented at GFD. Each year, the Program runs with a theme on a particular topic relevant to geophysical fluid dynamics. The summer opens with two weeks of principal lectures on the theme. Invited visitors continue to give seminars throughout the remainder of the Program, both on work related to the theme, but also on topics from geophysical fluid dynamics in general. The idea is to expose the participants to a new subject, with its particular phenomenology and techniques, while simultaneously maintaining a broader perspective, thus setting the stage for interdisciplinary interactions. In the coming five years, the following themes might be explored: Nonlinear Waves, Fluid Mechanics and Ecosystems, Coherent Structures, Buoyancy Currents, and Turbulent Transitions.
