age - In oceanography, the time interval between an astronomical event and the corresponding tidal phenomenon.
THERMOCLINE - Oceanography term for the change in temperature relative to ocean depth. In theory, the sea surface is warmest outside polar regions and remains with little change in temperature until a certain depth.

THERMOHALINE In oceanography, it pertains to when both temperature and salinity act together. An example is thermohaline circulation which is vertical circulation induced by surface cooling, which causes convective overturning and consequent mixing.
(Class M Flares)GeophysicsIn hydrologic terms, the study of the physical characteristics and properties of the earth; including geodesy, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric electricity, terrestrial magnetism, and tidal phenomena.
Decibar A unit of pressure used principally in oceanography. One decibar (105 dynes/cm²) equals 0.1 bar. In the ocean, hydrostatic pressure in decibars very nearly equals the corresponding depth in meters.
In oceanography, advection is the horizontal or vertical flow of sea water as a current. aerosol Particulate material, other than water or ice, in the atmosphere ranging in size from approximately 10x-3 to larger than 10x2 ´m in radius.
I studied meteorology at the University of Michigan and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology and Oceanography in 1969.

Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer"(Abbreviated AVHRR.) A sensor carried on board NOAA satellites used in meteorology and oceanography for measurements of cloud cover and sea surface temperature.
In oceanography, it is the horizontal distance between the highest parts of two successive wave crests above the still water level, separated by a trough that is below the still water level, and it is measured in meters.
DENSITY The ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume it occupies. In oceanography, it is equivalent to specific gravity and represents the ratio of the weight of a given volume of sea water to that of an equal volume of distilled water at 4.
(NOGAPS) Operational forecast model run by the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Centre. Forecast output to 144 hours. The NOGAPS model is run primarily for operational use by the US Navy.

In oceanography, it is equivalent to specific gravity and represents the ratio of the weight of a given volume of sea water to that of an equal volume of distilled water at 4.0¡C or 39.2¡F.
Geophysics The study of the physical characteristics and properties of the earth; including geodesy, seismology, meteorology, oceanography, atmospheric electricity, terrestrial magnetism, and tidal phenomena.
The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. Pure water under atmospheric pressure freezes at 0°C or 32°F. It is the opposite of fusion. In oceanography, ...
measured the rise of carbon dioxide gas in our atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide has been measured continuously since 1958 and follows an oscillating line. The line was named after Dr. Charles David Keeling, professor at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
modeling and forecasting of hurricanes, how hurricanes impact society, and how people and communities can prepare for and mitigate the impacts of hurricanes. The site is published by The University of Rhode Island/Graduate School of Oceanography.
TSB also has a storm surge group which provides information for developing evacuation procedures for coastal areas, and an oceanography unit that produces ocean current and sea surface temperature analyses.
Salinity (SAL)In oceanography, conductivity is measured and converted to salinity by a known functional relationship between the measured electrical conductivity of seawater temperature and pressure.
Another specialism is the study of 'micro-climates' around mature woodlands, or in urban situations for example. Studies also increasingly cross formerly rigid disciplinary boundaries, such as into the realms of oceanography and vulcanology.
