 This unit provides a more advanced course in oceanography, focused on physical oceanography and chemical oceanography. The unit covers fundamentals of ocean processes, including large scale ocean circulation, wind driven circulation, vorticity and diagnostic calculations of ocean currents, air-sea fluxes, transport of properties and shallow water equations. The chemical oceanography aspects will include the various mechanisms involved in the carbon cycle and biological pump, distribution of chemical properties in the global ocean, thermodynamic principles, nutrient and carbon cycling, air-sea gas exchange models, primary production and export production models, sedimentary biogeochemical processes and biogeochemical tracers of circulation.
