Abstract

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 more than 100 participants from 20 countries with 66 oral and poster presentations covering experimental and theoretical aspects of rotating and stratified fluids as well as field observations. The main topics discussed at the workshop were stratified flows, rotating stratified flows, gravity waves, instabilities and mixing, convection, experiments and numerical simulations of Geophysical flows and turbulent mixing. The papers are summarised in this report giving a state-of-the-art overview of present research in geophysical turbulent mixing.
