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, (geo-strophic) 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.
