The Geophysics Fluid Dynamics (GFD) program consists of a summer study school often weeks duration each summer. The primary aim ol the program is to visit a different specific area of GFD each summer, review fundamentals, and to help each other to conduct original research. Participants are approximately ten graduate student fellows, visiting graduate students and both visiting and returning scientists. The first two weeks consist of principal lectures in ...
The topic of the Principal Lectures for the forty-ninth year of the program was Boundary Layers. The subject centers around those problems in which the boundary conditions lead to a large gradient near the boundary.
