Principal instructors in the 1968 Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) program in the basement of Walsh Cottage demonstrating effect of rotation on water.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 47, No. 2, Pg. 45:
They are fondly called “the porch people.” Each summer since 1959, the Geophysical Fluid\ Dynamics Program at WHOI has gathered promising young students in tiny Walsh Cottage, together with some of the greatest scientific minds in the field (such as Henry Stommel and Louis N. Howard, top right, on a rotating table in the cottage’s basement in 1968, demonstrating the effects of rotation on water). Over the half century, Walsh Cottage has become a renowned think tank for exploring the fundamental motions and physics of oceans, rivers, magma, air, other planets’ atmospheres, other fluid media—in short, how the universe works.
