He served as the Ekman Professor of Oceanography at Florida State University and was an elected member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. Dr. Stern was the first researcher in the world to mathematically describe salt fingering, a phenomenon produced by the unique combination of temperature and salinity in the density stratified oceans.Born January 22, 1929 and a native of New York City, Melvin received his B.E.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from Cooper Union in 1950; a M.S. in Physics from Illinois Tech in 1952; and a Ph.D. in Meteorology from M.I.T. in 1956.Melvin was a prominent scientist whose groundbreaking theories on ocean currents are still the benchmark today. He began his career at WHOI as a research assistant in Physics from 1951- 1952. On military leave to serve in the Air Force from 1952-1957, he returned to WHOI in the same position from 1957- 1964. He then went on to the University of Rhode Island and then to Florida State University in 1987 where he was a professor for many years.A pioneer in his field, Melvin was one of the founders of the WHOI Geophysical Fluid Dynamics (GFD) program, which he continued to attend through 2004. He returned for the program’s 50th year celebration in 2008 and then again last summer to deliver a lecture at a special dinner for Lou Howard. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1998.Melvin Stern died on February 2, 2010 in Philadelphia, PA. He was 81.
