理科文凭-物理海洋学

物理海洋学涉及对描述流体流动的数学方程式的理解，以及如何在海洋环境中使用这些方程式。学生将了解如何控制沿海洋流，水团形成，上升流，风暴潮和大规模洋流。他们还了解了一系列海洋过程的动力学，包括海浪，潮汐，海滩洋流和厄尔尼诺/南方涛动。海洋学背景可以应用于诸如气候学，海洋人口动态以及海洋和沿海生境动态结构等学科。物理海洋学对于理解气候变化和全球变暖至关重要。在悉尼新南威尔士大学，它是气候变化研究中心（CCRC）和生物，地球与环境科学学院海洋科学小组的研究重点。
Physical Oceanography involves an understanding of the mathematical equations that describe fluid flow, and how these are used in the context of the oceans.<br>Students gain an understanding of what controls coastal ocean currents, water-mass formation, upwelling, storm surges and large-scale ocean flow. They also learn about the dynamics of a range of ocean processes, including waves, tides, beach currents and the El-Nino/Southern Oscillation.<br>A background in oceanography can be applied to disciplines such as climatology, the dynamics of marine populations and the dynamic structure of marine and coastal habitats. Physical Oceanography is essential to understanding climate change and global warming. At UNSW Sydney it is a research focus of the Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) and the marine science group in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences.
