... Nevertheless, in numerous general areas collaboration between oceanographers and statisticians could contribute to improving currently used models, analysis techniques, data assimilation methods, visualization methods, and so on. Examples of such areas identified in this report include multiple-scale variability of oceanographic fields; use of Lagrangian data in descriptions of ocean circulation; ocean feature identification; pictorial representation of oceanographic data; interpolation, smoothing, filtering, and prediction in the context of oceanographic data; comparison of oceanographic models and data; and non-Gaussian, nonstationary random fields.

... by providing for postdoctoral fellowships, senior research sabbaticals, and graduate student residencies that would enable statisticians to work with oceanographers at oceanographic research institutions; and (c) by sponsoring a series of oneor two-week short courses on oceanography for statisticians in which specialists would review selected topics- and indicate open areas of research.
