Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)
The Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) is engaged in comprehensive long lead-time research fundamental to NOAA's mission. Scientists at GFDL develop and use mathematical models and computer simulations to improve our understanding and prediction of the behavior of the atmosphere, the oceans, and climate. GFDL scientists focus on model-building relevant for society, such as hurricane research, prediction, and seasonal forecasting, and understanding global and regional climate change.
If you will be visiting GFDL for three days or less you will need to bring identification with you in order to enter the building. If you are visiting for more than three days you will need to complete additional documentation (see website).
