Four principal lecturers shored the task of presenting the subject
"Coherent Features in Geophysical Flows" to the participants of the twenty-second
geophysical fluid dynamics summer program. Glenn Flierl introduced the
topic and the Kortweg-de Vries equation via a model of finite amplitude motions
on the beta plane. He extended the analysis to more complex flows in the ocean
and the atmosphere and in the process treated motions of very large amplitude.
Larry Redekopp's three lectures summarized an extensive body of the mathematical
literature on coherent features. Andrew Ingersoll focussed on the
many fascinating features in Jupiter's atmosphere. Joseph Keller supplemented
an interesting summary of laboratory observations with suggestive models for
treating the flows.
