Inhalt
Content:
Topography of the sea bed, composition and physical properties of sea water and sea ice, sound, heat budget, mean sea salt stratification, characteristic water masses, wind induced ocean currents, geostrophic currents, thermohaline circulation, regional oceanography, tides, ocean currents

The lecture will be held in English.

Learning Outcomes:
The students have developed a basic knowledge of the the structure and dynamics of the ocean.
They are able to understand the most important physical mechanisms in the ocean and to apply this knowledge in the study of subject-specific topics of the continuing modules of meteorology and physical oceanography.
