21Helioseismology — is the study of the propagation of pressure waves in the Sun. Unlike seismic waves on earth, solar waves have practically no shear component (s waves). Solar pressure waves are generated by the turbulence in the convection zone, near the surface… …
22Coriolis effect — For the psychophysical perception effect, see Coriolis effect (perception). Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
23Upwelling — If the wind in blows parallel to the coast in the southern hemisphere (such as along the coast of Peru, where the wind blows North), then Ekman transport produces a net movement of surface water 90 degrees to the left. This can result in coastal… …
24Marine snow — Underway recovery of a sediment trap used to collect marine snow and estimate export production In the deep ocean, marine snow is a continuous shower of mostly organic detritus falling from the upper layers of the water column. It is a… …
25Marine pollution — While marine pollution can be obvious, as with the marine debris shown above, it is often the pollutants that cannot be seen that cause most harm. Marine pollution occurs when harmful, or potentially harmful effects, can result from the entry… …
26Mooring (oceanography) — Sketch of a mooring with traps and current meters A mooring in oceanography is a collection of devices, connected to a wire and temporarily anchored on the sea floor. The devices are current meters to measure the direction and speed of ocean… …
27Clapotis — Incoming wave (red) reflected at the wall produces the outgoing wave (blue), both being overlaid resulting in the clapotis (black). In hydrodynamics, the clapotis (from French: lapping of water ) is a non breaking standing wave pattern, caused… …
28Oceanography — For the scientific journal, see Oceanography (journal). Thermohaline circulation Oceanography (compound of the Greek words ωκεανός meaning ocean and γράφω meaning to write ), also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth… …
