The Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program of Princeton University invites outstanding undergraduates to apply for a unique summer research program which provides the opportunity to explore career interests in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences. Students will work with scientists from Princeton University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (NOAA/GFDL) to explore cutting-edge research topics in a state-of-the-art computing environment.

The expected research may involve theoretical analysis, numerical modeling, and observational studies covering a wide range of topics, including:

• dynamics of the atmosphere and ocean
  
• chemistry of ozone depletion and pollution
  
• climate and climate change
  
• El Nino and air/sea interactions
  
• radiative transfer and remote sensing
  
• hurricane prediction
  
• evolution of frontal systems
  

Applicants should fulfill the following requirements:

• have completed their Junior year by June of 2001.
• have extensive computing experience, including Fortran (or C) and Unix.
• have substantial course work and/or previous work experience in one or more of the following areas - physics, chemistry, geophysical sciences, math, computer science, or engineering.

Students accepted into the program will be provided with paid room on the university campus and a stipend of $325/week for a nine-to-ten week period from mid-June to mid-August, 2001. Undegraduate student participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Applicants should send a resume, two letters of reference, a college transcript, and a short essay discussing background in science, computer experience and reasons for interest in the program to:
