Extractions: Overview The goal of physical oceanography is to measure and understand evolving patterns of circulation and water properties over a wide range of scales, from turbulent microstructure through basin-scale gyres and the global overturning circulation. Ocean circulation and physical processes are studied in the context of important multidisciplinary issues: the dynamics and predictability of global climate, and the sustainability of human use in coastal and estuarine regions. Research in physical oceanography involves diverse approaches that include theory, direct observation, and computer simulation. Read More. The diversity of the program in physical oceanography is greatly increased by numerous joint and affiliate positions with two world-class research laboratories, the University's Applied Physics Laboratory and with the nearby NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, where many of our graduate students choose to do their research. Areas of graduate student research include: Acoustical Oceanography and Ocean Acoustics The Ocean in Climate Coastal and Estuarine Processes Geophysical Fluid Dynamics ...

Extractions: Exploring the Physical Foundations of Oceanography Introduction Support Audience Objectives ... Contact Information The Maury Project is the American Meteorological Society's comprehensive national program of teacher enhancement based on studies of the physical foundations of oceanography. Major components of the program include: (a) the development of a cadre of master oceanographic education resource teachers who provide peer training opportunities for their colleagues throughout the country, and (b) the dissemination and implementation of scientifically accurate and pedagogically sound instructional resource materials directed towards teachers. The American Meteorological Society has a long-term interest in precollege ocean education. It serves the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences, and publishes several journals including the Journal of Physical Oceanography , the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology , and the electronic journal Earth Interactions In recognition of the underrepresentation of certain groups in the Earth system sciences, the Maury Project incorporates a special AMS/NOAA initiative to promote minority participation in science through teacher enhancement. The goal is to train as many teachers as possible who are members of groups underrepresented in the sciences and/or teach (or will peer train teachers who teach) significant numbers of precollege students from underrepresented groups.

Extractions: the Pacific Website? This page last updated: June 14, 2002 P hysical Oceanography The Pacific OCS Region now, as in the past, supports a large effort in physical oceanographic research. Physical oceanography includes the study of ocean currents, or "circulations" and how the currents in the ocean respond to various forcing mechanisms, such as the wind. This topic is of crucial importance to MMS because of the fact that any oil spilled into the ocean will immediately begin to move under the influence of winds and currents. Currently physical oceanographic studies are being carried out as part of a cooperative agreement between the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (University of California at San Diego) and MMS. The primary focus of this effort is the circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel where most of the oil from the west coast federal outer continental shelf is produced. The Center for Coastal Studies at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography has been working with MMS since 1990 on the Santa Barbara Channel - Santa Maria Basin Studies which is aimed at providing a clear picture of the circulation over the continental shelf on either side of Point Conception.

http://www-atm.physics.ox.ac.uk/group/ocean/

Extractions: Department of Physics Our primary research interests are in describing the state of the global ocean in space and time and understanding the dynamic and thermodynamic processes that maintain this state. Ultimately, we are motivated to understand the ocean's role in Earth's climate and the physical analogies between the ocean and other planetary atmospheres. A variety of models are used for studying the interaction between the atmosphere and oceans. This interaction is strongest in the tropical regions, particularly over the Pacific ocean, where it gives rise to `El Nino' conditions and leads to climate variability on time-scales of a few months to a few years. The ultimate object of our work is to test the predictability of the tropical ocean-atmosphere system. Our models range from fully comprehensive models of the atmosphere and ocean to models of intermediate complexity that retain only the essential physics. In addition, models are being used to understand the nature of the decadal variability of the wind-driven and thermohaline circulations of the ocean and their climate manifestations. Much of the work is carried out in collaboration with other major modelling centres. Understanding the key mechanisms controlling the rate at which the ocean interior is refreshed by surface water is a critical issue facing oceanographers interested in climate. A blend of methods is used to approach this problem, including numerical models of the oceanic circulation on parallel computers, observations of dissolved transient tracers (CFCs and radiosotopes) from research cruises and non-linear statistical techniques. The combination leads to improved knowledge of the general ciruculation of the ocean and exchange with the atmosphere and hence enhanced understanding of the ocean's role in shaping the Earth's climate.

Extractions: Back to Division main page or previous page This program supports process-oriented and hypothesis-driven science and technology in the area of physical oceanography and in the applications of oceanic research tools and techniques for fleet usage. It should be noted that there are three other ONR teams which are involved with science and technology in the area of physical oceanography. These are: Coastal Dynamics Ocean Modeling and Prediction , and High Latitude . Strong interaction is encouraged with these programs. In response to post-cold war United States Naval strategy and tactics, increased emphasis is given to the littoral, defined here as the oceanographic region encompassing the continental shelf and slope and the adjacent deep water. The approach is principally on field observations with theory and modeling expected to be closely integrated. The following is a listing of the thrust areas with a brief description of emphasis.
