Infrastructure
The Centre maintains a Geophysical Fluid Dynamics laboratory. This is equipped with a rotating table and
convection tank designed for the simulation of extra-tropical and tropical circulations. In addition, the
convection tank allows for the study of jets, plumes and thermals. The laboratory has a laser Doppler anemometer
for flow velocity measurements, a laser based flow visualization facility, and a CCD camera for recording and
studying the evolution of fluid flows.
