Abstract
The 2019 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Summer Study Program theme was Stratified Turbulence and Ocean Mixing Processes. Two principal lecturers, Stephanie Waterman (University of Victoria) and Colm-cille Caulfield (University of Cambridge), were our expert guides for the first two weeks. Colm covered the theoretical aspects of stratified turbulence, from simple scaling laws to sophisticated, modern numerical results. Stephanie kept the enthusiastic audience grounded with her lectures on ocean mixing processes, observations, and their many technical challenges.
