123Mild-slope equation — Simulation of wave penetration involving diffraction and refraction into Tedious Creek, Maryland, using CGWAVE (which solves the mild slope equation). In fluid dynamics, the mild slope equation describes the combined effects of diffraction and… …
124Vine–Matthews–Morley hypothesis — The Vine–Matthews–Morley hypothesis, also known as the Morley–Vine–Matthews hypothesis was the first key scientific test of the seafloor spreading theory of continental drift and Plate tectonics. Geophysicist Frederick John Vine and the Canadian… …
125Ocean gyre — For other uses, see Gyre (disambiguation). The five major ocean gyres A gyre in oceanography is any large system of rotating ocean currents, particularly those involved with large wind movements. Gyres are caused by the Coriolis Effect; planetary …
126Ocean dynamics — define and describe the motion of water within the oceans. Ocean temperature and motion fields can be separated into three distinct layers: mixed (surface) layer, upper ocean (above the thermocline), and deep ocean. Ocean dynamics has… …
127Ocean observations — The following are considered essential ocean climate variables by the OOPC[1][clarification needed] that are currently feasible with current observational systems. Contents 1 Ocean climate variables 1 …
128Ocean reanalysis — is an method of combining historical ocean observations with a general ocean model (typically a computational model) driven by historical estimates of surface winds, heat, and freshwater, by way of a data assimilation algorithm to reconstruct… …
