🌊 Fundamentals of Oceanography

Ocean Dynamics

Study the physical processes that drive ocean circulation and movement.

Coriolis Force: F = 2mΩ × v where Ω = Earth's rotation, v = velocity
Ekman Transport: U = τ/(ρf) where τ = wind stress, f = Coriolis parameter
Geostrophic Flow: f × v = -∇p/ρ where p = pressure, ρ = density

Marine Ecosystems

Learn about the complex ecosystems that exist in ocean environments.

Primary Production: PP = Chl × PAR × α where Chl = chlorophyll, PAR = light
Trophic Efficiency: TE = (Pn/Pn-1) × 100% where P = production
Biodiversity Index: H = -Σ(pi × ln(pi)) where pi = proportion of species i

Oceanographic Processes

Explore the various processes that occur in ocean environments.

Wave Speed: c = √(g × h) where g = gravity, h = depth
Tidal Force: F = 2GMm/r³ where G = gravitational constant
Upwelling: w = (τ × curl(τ))/(ρ × f) where τ = wind stress
