Abstract

A conference on ‘Stratified Fluids’ was held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, 11–14 April 1967, under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. The meeting was organized by Professor C.-S. Yih (University of Michigan) with the assistance of the other members of the scientific committee: T. B. Benjamin, W. R. Debler, L. N. Howard, R. R. Long, J. W. Miles, W. H. Munk and O. M. Phillips. Thirty papers were delivered on subjects involving the application of stratified fluid problems to geophysical phenomena, waves in stratified fluids, experimental and observational investigations, and stability. We give here a brief account of the proceedings. The papers delivered will not be published in a formal volume; references to where they can be found are given at the end of this article.
