Skip to Main Content Header Visit NASA.gov Connect ... Site Map Search Site Go! Home Big Questions Earth Heliophysics ... NASA Oceanography → Physical Ocean Physical Ocean Physical oceanography is the study of the physical properties and dynamic processes of the oceans. Physical oceanographers study the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere, how the ocean stores and releases heat, the physical properties (or chemical content) of water throughout the ocean, and the formation and movement of currents and coastal dynamics. In order to understand these phenomena, researchers at NASA measure ocean surface topography sea surface temperature , the speed and direction of the winds over the ocean , and soon, sea surface salinity (salt content). From these data, scientists can further study ocean currents , and sea ice Satellites provide a double advantage over traditional ship-based measuring systems as they are able to provide continuous measurements on a global scale. A single global snapshot - which would be expensive and time-consuming, but possible from ships or buoys - fails to convey how the physical state of the ocean is changing. With satellite data, scientists can understand not only how the ocean behaves at a given point in time, but also how the ocean changes and fluctuates. For example the patterns of heat distribution within the ocean and the geographic extent of current systems affect climate and weather. A displacement of weather patterns can extend summer weather or lead to droughts or floods.

In addition, the URI model will be introduced into the operational GFDL model used for hurricane forecasting in the East Pacific. The URI component of the computer model takes ocean dynamics into account to improve the forecasting of hurricane intensity. "This grant will allow us to continue our research efforts toward improving the operational hurricane forecast system," said Ginis. "It will be conducted in active collaboration with NOAA scientists, building directly upon our successful joint research program. "Our main goal in this project," continued Ginis, "is to better understand and describe in our hurricane forecast model the physical processes causing the extreme winds and heavy rain that lead to death and to damage amounting to $5 billion annually in the United States."

Introduction to Physical Oceanography Physical oceanography is the study of the physics of the ocean. This encompasses a very broad range of processes that can be characterized by the time and space scales over which they vary. On the rapidly varying end of the scale, there are turbulent eddies with durations of seconds and spatial scales of centimeters. At somewhat longer scales, there are propagating surface and internal gravity waves with periods of seconds to hours and wavelengths of meters to kilometers. Astronomical forces generate tides which propagate on the rotating earth as waves with periods predominantly near 12 and 24 hours and wavelengths of thousands of kilometers. At intermediate scales, there are horizontal eddies, fronts and coastal currents that vary on time scales of days to months and spatial scales of one to hundreds of kilometers. At the slowly varying end of the scale there are wind-forced and thermodynamically driven ocean currents with time scales of days to centuries and spatial scales of tens to thousands of kilometers. Transfers of momentum, heat and salt occur within the ocean and across the air-sea interface on all of these space and time scales.

The skills will vary depending upon the degree course followed. Many graduate jobs working in the marine sector start out as temporary one-year contracts, offering job flexibility to both the employer and employee. Whilst this sounds insecure, in reality many contracts are renewed, can continue for several years and may turn into permanent jobs in time. Monitoring agencies are more likely to recruit permanent staff without a short term contract phase. Commercial consultancies recruit according to market demand and their success in obtaining work in the short term. Graduates are not restricted to work in the marine sector. The degrees offered provide training in skills such as written and oral communication, computer literacy, information analysis and problem solving, time management and numeracy.

Skip to Main Content Header Visit NASA.gov Connect ... Site Map Search Site Go! Home Big Questions Earth Heliophysics ... Physical Ocean → Salinity Salinity Although everyone knows that seawater is salty, few know that even small variations in Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) can have dramatic effects on the water cycle and ocean circulation. SSS tells us the about the concentration of dissolved salts in the upper centimeter of the ocean surface. Throughout Earth's history, certain processes have served to make the ocean salty. The weathering of rocks delivers minerals, including salt, into the ocean. Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean. However these "salinity raising" factors are continually counterbalanced by processes that decrease salinity such as the continuous input of fresh water from rivers, precipitation of rain and snow, and melting of ice. Understanding why the sea is salty begins with knowing how water cycles among the ocean's physical states: liquid, vapor, and ice. As a liquid, water dissolves rocks and sediments and reacts with emissions from volcanoes and hydrothermal vents. This creates a complex solution of mineral salts in our ocean basins. Conversely, in other states of ocean water such as vapor and ice, water and salt are incompatible: water vapor and ice are essentially salt free. Since 86% of global evaporation and 78% of global precipitation occur over the ocean, SSS is the key variable for understanding how fresh water input and output affects ocean dynamics. By tracking SSS we can directly monitor variations in the water cycle: land runoff, sea ice freezing and melting, and evaporation and precipitation over the oceans.

Contact Us Student Info Prospective Students Research Groups ... Department Phone List Physical Oceanography Physical Oceanography is the study of the physical processes in the ocean and the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere. Physical oceanographers in our department study currents at the surface and in the deep ocean, water mass formation, and the role of the ocean in weather and climate. We also study the heat budget of the ocean including solar heating, evaporation, infrared radiation into and out of the sea, the transport of heat and salt by currents, and the formation of sea ice. The goal of our work is to understand and predict processes such as , the role of the ocean in climate and the ice ages, currents in the Gulf of Mexico and elsewhere, and physical processes along continental shelves. In doing our work we construct elaborate numerical models of the circulation , and we analyse data collected from instruments on ships and satellites.
