REPORT ON TURBULENCE AND MIXING IN GEOPHYSICAL FLOWS II

We describe the presentations at the international meeting/workshop on Mixing in Geophysical Flows that took place at Vilanova i la Geltru, near Barcelona during the 20, 21 and 22nd of March 1997. There were mo re than 100 participants from 20 countries with 66 oral and poster pre sentations covering experimental and theoretical aspects of rotating a nd stratified fluids as well as field observations. The main topics di scussed at the workshop were stratified flows, rotating stratified flo ws, gravity waves, instabilities and mixing, convection, experiments a nd numerical simulations of Geophysical flows and turbulent mixing. Th e papers are summarised in this report giving a state-of-the-art overv iew of present research in geophysical turbulent mixing.
