Physical Oceanography
Funds research on how the ocean is structured and how it moves — and how it interacts with the atmosphere, the sea floor and ice.
NSF's Physical Oceanography programme covers the structure and movement of the ocean, and what that movement carries.
Four connected areas. How the ocean is structured and how it moves. How it transports heat, salt, momentum and other quantities. How its physical structure interacts with the biological and chemical processes inside it. And how the ocean interacts with what surrounds it — the atmo…
The structure and movement of the ocean, the quantities it transports, how its physical structure interacts with the biological and chemical processes within it, and its interactions with the atmosphere, the solid earth and ice.
