Dr. Henry
Melson Stommel has had an illustrious scientific
career in the field of physical oceanography,
primarily in the interpretation of data
associated with large scale ocean dynamics. His
long standing interest in the Gulf Stream is
illustrated by his recent book on the subject. He
is being recognized for his significant
contribution to the field of oceanography through
active research, his publications, and his wealth
of ideas which stimulated the work of many of his
contemporaries. In recent years he has
co-directed the large USSR-US POLYMODE research
project on ocean eddies.
