Transport and Scale Interactions in Geophysical Flows

Abstract

This interdisciplinary workshop brought together researchers working on different aspects of transport and scale interactions across the spectrum of geophysical fluid dynamics: geometry and computation of transport and exchange processes in geophysical flows, Lagrangian coherent structures, (geostrophic) turbulence, nonlinear waves and coherent structures in the Eulerian description of fluids, and stochastic methods in multiscale systems. Each of these topics have their own vibrant communities as well as well-established and emerging connections. This meeting aimed to bridge across the entire span of topics from a dynamical systems perspective, and to connect classical approaches with new developments in data-driven modeling and stochastic modeling.
