This symposium continues a long tradition for IUGGjIUTAM symposia
going back to "Fundamental Problems in Thrbulence and their
Relation to Geophysics" Marseille, 1961. The five topics that were
emphasized were: turbulence modeling, statistics of small scales
and coherent structures, con vective turbulence, stratified
turbulence, and historical developments. The objective was to
consider the ubiquitous nature of turbulence in a variety of
geophysical problems and related flows. Some history of the
contribu tions of NCAR and its alumni were discussed, including
those of Jackson R Herring, who has been a central figure at NCAR
since 1972. To the original topics we added rotation, which
appeared in many places. This includes rotating stratified
turbulence, rotating convective turbulence, horizontal rotation
that appears in flows over terrain and the role of small scale
vorticity in many flows. These complicated flows have recently
begun to be simulated by several groups from around the world and
this meeting provided them with an excellent forum for exchanging
results, plus inter actions with those doing more fundamental work
on rotating stratified and convective flows. New work on double
diffusive convection was given in two presentations. The history of
Large Eddy Simulations was presented and several new approaches to
this field were given. This meeting also spawned some interesting
interactions between observational side and how to inter pret the
observations with modeling and simulations around the theme of
particle dispersion in these flows."
