Geophysical Fluid Dynamics with a Twist: in Honour of Professor Raymond Hide.
LOCATION
Burlington House

United Kingdom
This meeting is to celebrate the memory of Raymond Hide (CBE ScD FRS) who was President of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1983-1985, and of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1974-76. The meeting will cover fundamental areas of Astronomy, Geophysics, Meteorology and Oceanography, under the broader umbrella of “Geophysical Fluid Dynamics”, to which Raymond contributed so greatly.
Professor Hide had a unique approach to these areas, with a knack of drawing powerful inferences from, and connecting to reality, theoretical concepts. We intend to follow, and promote further, this spirit through the meeting with the help of speakers who have been inspired by Raymond’s life and work: Prof Chris Hughes (University of Liverpool), Prof Andrew Jackson (ETH Zurich), Prof John Marshall (MIT), Prof Tim Palmer (Oxford University) and Prof Peter Read (Oxford University).
