Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program. The GFD Program began in 1959 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution with the aim of introducing a then relatively new topic in mathematical physics, geophysical fluid dynamics, to graduate students in physical sciences.
Lecture Series - Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Review of ideal fluid dynamics; derivation of surface and gravity wave equations. Linear perturbation theory, short wave asymptotics and ray methods. Applications: shoaling, scattering, and waves in channels of variable depth.

Life at GFD - Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
For 60 years, future oceanographers, physicists and mathematicians have gathered for a WHOI-sponsored fellowship to debate how water and other fluids move on Earth and in the atmosphere, a field called geophysical fluid dynamics, or GFD.
Fellowships - Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
Graduate students and researchers from a variety of fields who share a common interest in the nonlinear dynamics of rotating, stratified fluids share an intense ten-week research experience, and vigorous discussions of concepts that span different disciplines.
