課程描述

本課程包含的主題如下﹕觀測物理海洋學、海的物理描述、海水的物理特性、方法與測量、風成海洋環流、深海海洋環流、邊界過程和波動。

欲申請伍茲霍爾海洋研究所(WHOI)和麻省理工(MIT)合作計畫中的本研究所課程,數學及物理須達一定標準或是經任課教授的同意。物理海洋學課程包含了核心課程(本課程為其中一部分)、數學課程、和其他選修課程。?位學生都可透過麻省理工(MIT)和伍茲霍爾海洋研究所(WHOI)學術顧問的協助構思出一份研究計劃。

希望學生都可參加學術研討會並自己完成廣泛的文獻閱讀。核心課程的目的是要提供進行物理海洋學研究的學生,最少但必要的動力學基礎。

課程組織

作業﹕5份指定作業佔30%的成績

報告﹕調查研究一種用於物理海洋學中的測量系統,此部分佔30%的成績

考試﹕期末考佔30%的成績

Course Description

This course covers topics like: Observational physical oceanography, physical description of the sea, physical properties of seawater, methods and measurements, wind-driven ocean circulation, abyssal ocean circulation, boundary processes, and wave motions.

The mathematics and physics required for admission to the graduate curriculum in the WHOI/MIT Joint Program or consent of the instructor. The physical oceanography curriculum includes core courses (of which 12.808 is a part), mathematics courses, and electives. Each student formulates a program of studies with the assistance of academic advisors drawn from both MIT and WHOI.

Students are expected to attend research seminars and to complete widespread independent reading of the literature. The core curriculum is intended to provide the minimum, essential foundation in dynamics for students pursuing research in physical oceanography.

Course Organization

Homework: 5 homework assignments = 30% of grade

Presentations: Researching one type of measurement system used in physical oceanography = 30% of grade

Exam: Final exam at the end of class = 30% of grade
