Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory activities, FY84, plans, FY85
Abstract
This document is intended to serve as a summary of the work accomplished at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and to present a glimpse of the near future direction of its research plans. The overview covers the five major research areas that correspond to NOAA's mission in oceanography and meteorology: Weather Service; Climate; Atmospheric Quality; Marine Quality; Ocean Service. These are five of the NOAA categories (bins) for research activities. The body of the text describes goals, specific recent achievements and future plans for the following major research categories: Climate Dynamic; Middle Atmosphere Dynamics and Chemistry; Experimental Prediction; Oceanic Circulation; Planetary Circulations; Observational Studies; Hurricane Dynamics; Mesoscale Dynamics; and Convection and Turbulence.
