MAR 645 - Ocean Circulation and ModelingCredits 3 Requirements: Prereq: PHY 550/MAR 555Lecture / 3 hours per week Theories of ocean circulation, including wind-driven and thermohaline components, and their numerical modeling. The concepts of geostrophy, Sverdrup-to-Strommel dynamics, stratification, rotation, and diffusion processes are discussed for the general circulation features in all three world oceans. Primitive equation-based numerical modeling experiments are discussed for the global-scale, basin-scale, regional-scale, and feature-based models. PHY 645 Graded
