H.U. Sverdrup Symposium proceedings published in Polar Research 20(2)
The latest issue of Polar Research, the peer-reviewed journal of the
Norwegian Polar Institute, comprises 14 articles based on presentations
at the H.U. Sverdrup Symposium on the Role of Ocean--Sea Ice--Atmosphere
Interaction in Polar and Sub-Polar Climate. The symposium was held in
Tromso, Norway, in September 2000, and commemorated the 75th anniversary
of the conclusion of Amundsen's expedition through the North-East
Passage; Sverdrup served as chief scientist on this challenging
expedition. The special issue features an introductory piece by
Professor Walter Munk which offers a uniquely personal view of Sverdrup
as a scientist and friend.
