Synopsis
This course provides basic theoretical knowledge on Oceanography & Marine Meteorology. This includes the physical properties of sea water and marine circulation dynamics which based on its types and effect of friction. In addition, this course also provides general circulation of the oceans and wind-waves and swells, oceanographic measurements.
