Michael Brown proposes to apply concepts of catastrophe and chaos               theory to two fields of interest in ocean physics; the dynamics                 of two-dimensional incompressible fluids and the propagation of                 high frequency acoustic waves. He will address problems of                      formation, stability, and interactions of vortices (rings and                   eddies), stirring of streaky tracer fields by turbulent flows,                  effects of small random perturbations in the wavefield in the                   vicinity of caustics, and the predictability (or lack thereof) of               underwater sound fields. These studies will shed new light into                 the solution of models and help to interpret observational data.
