The principal theme of this eleventh Summer Program has been
Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics. As in the past, we have explored the
region of overlap in technique and theory of our summer theme and
other aspects of Fluid Dynamics. An interesting example of this
overlap is the application of the physics of salt-finger instability,
a significant oceanographic process, to instabilities due to differential
rotation in the sun, a critical problem in stellar evolution.

The principal lectures of this twelfth Summer Program were
given by Joseph Pedlosky of the University of Chicago. On the following
page one sees Dr. Pedlosky demonstrating advanced effects
caused by rotation and stratification. Only in his last few lectures
do these novel phenomena emerge from the analysis.
