In this course we present the movements of the sea and the coastal surface oscillations of oceanographic basins by means of numerical models and experimental data of current meters and tidal gauges
The course addresses the students towards the capacity of analysing ecological problems with the possibilty of controlling the physical aspects of an oceanographic region
Teaching aims to obtain :1) the knowledge of the physical laws of the dynamic of the sea with wind and atmospheric pressure forcing terms: 2) the capacity of forecasting ocean currents and sea level oscillations by means of numerical models
Teaching is articulated in two modules: 1) the equations of motion of the physical oceanography
2) the matlab exercises of applied oceanography The lesssons will be hopefully held in person with the possibility for students to follow even at distance via video conference on the Teams platform
The code to access the lesson on Teams is : vv2pp13

Oral exam
the exam consists of general questions on the equations of fluids that describe marine motions and the discussion of an applied oceanography thesis chosen by the candidate and is structured in such a way as to verify the understanding of the topics covered and the student's ability to address an environmental problem and propose solutions to improve the system
