This ten-week work-study-discussion program is centered
about a formal course called Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. Eight participants
are selected from graduate and postgraduate applicants. In the discussions
emphasis is placed on the formulation of tractable research problems in geophysics.
The participants are encouraged to work on satisfactory problems thus
formulated and to continue with their research after returning to their respective
institutions.
