Physical Oceanography: From Density to Deep Circulation

Equation of State of Seawater → Ocean Circulation and Climate

This advanced learning path guides oceanography students through the fundamental physical processes governing ocean dynamics. Starting with the equation of state and stratification, it progresses through Ekman transport, geostrophic currents, and wind-driven gyres, culminating in the global deep circulation and the overturning circulation. The path emphasizes the physics and mathematics underlying these phenomena.
