课程简介:本课程《海洋学:更好理解我们世界的关键》旨在通过环游世界的帆船赛,带领学员探索地中海、大西洋、南印度洋和南太平洋等多个海域。在航行过程中,船长们将会遇到各种海洋环境,比如强海流、浮冰、各种波浪形态及生物多样性。 学生将在课程中学习海洋学的基础知识,包括海底的分类与形成、当前的海洋卫星分析系统的工作原理、海洋化学及其形成过程。无须提前掌握海洋学知识,任何人均可参与。 课程大纲: 1. **地中海:海洋的模型 - 温度、盐度与压力**:模块1介绍了海洋描述学的基本概念,关注水的物理特性,包括温度与盐度的垂直分布、稳定性与不稳定性的水柱形成,以及水体运动的奥秘,案例以地中海为主,结合巴塞罗那世界赛的起止位置。 2. **地中海:海洋的模型 - 水体与环流**:此模块探讨海水的形成及海洋动力学的基本概念,包括科里奥利力和压力梯度力等。 3. **全球海洋**:模块深入全球海洋的各方面,分析海洋对生活在沿海及远离海洋居民的影响,探讨海洋环境的未知领域及其生物的生存状态。 4. **卫星海洋学:地球上的所有视角 (I)**:此模块学习海洋卫星观测的重要性,讨论遥感技术及其对导航的影响。 5. **卫星海洋学:地球上的所有视角 (II)**:扩展卫星海洋学的学习,研究微波在信息获取中的应用,探讨主动传感器的重要性及其他卫星应用。 6. **海洋化学:无壁管的化学工业**:介绍海洋化学的基本原理,碳酸盐系统以及其与海洋输送带的关系,帮助理解海洋的运作及其对航行和气候的影响。 7. **海洋盆地:持续数百万年的记忆**:通过对地壳演化的历史研究,理解地球的陆地与海洋盆地的演变,探索从大陆边缘到大型水域的多样性。 该课程为学习海洋学提供了全面的基础知识,适合所有对海洋与环境感兴趣的人士。
Name:1A - The Mediterranean: a model of an ocean - Temperature, salinity and pressure.
Description:Module 1 addresses some of the fundamental concepts of descriptive oceanography related to the physical characteristics of water: the vertical distribution of temperature and salinity, TS diagram, stability and destabilization of the water column, the formation of water dense and deep, the water masses and circulation. It is necessary also introduces concepts to understand the relationship between the distribution of the mass of water, its surface topography of a regional or larger scale, and called geostrophic circulation, where it plays a fundamental role the Coriolis force. While the concepts presented have general applicability, examples are the Mediterranean, starting with the characteristics of the waters near Barcelona, where it begins and ends the Barcelona World Race, and ending with the general circulation of the water masses around the Mediterranean.
Name:1B - The Mediterranean: a model of an ocean - Water masses and circulation
Description:In this module you will learn how dense waters and water bodies are formed. Where the Mediterranean will be used as a model of ocean. As well as some of the fundamental concepts of marine dynamics, which is how the Coriolis and pressure gradient force is formed. Besides the importance of dynamic topography and geostrophic flow. Hope will be to your liking.
Name:2. The Global Ocean
Description:This module will enter fully into the Global Ocean, will review and generalize the aspects previously referred to in the previous module. We will see the role of the ocean on a global scale, and how we can affect those who live closer or farther from the coast. Try to understand why it is still quite unknown and will glance nose in the marine environment. That is, how it behaves for those living beings, most who live within the ocean or in direct contact with him.
Name:3A. Satellite oceanography: all eyes on the planet (I)
Description: In this module you will learn the importance of ocean observation by satellite, talk about remote sensing, electromagnetic radiation emitted and reflected, and the importance of their study for navigation.
Name:3B. Satellite oceanography: All eyes on the planet (II)
Description:This new module will expand the study of oceanography satellite, and microwave as for obtaining information are used. What are they and what is the importance of active sensors. And finally, other applications of satellites and their importance.
Name:4. Ocean chemistry: a chemical industry with wall-less pipes
Description:In this section you will learn ocean chemistry what is it? how does it work? What is the vertical axis of the biosphere and the vertical segregació of the elements and how it works? What is carbon carbonate system and what is its relationship with the ocean conveyor belt?. The answers to all these questions will help us understand how the oceans work, the importance for navigation and its relationship to the planet's climate.
Name:5. Ocean basins: a memory sustained for millions of years
Description:The result of the evolution of the crust of the Earth: a set of land masses and ocean basins in continuous motion over crust. With a little history we will achieve understand the result of the evolution of the crust of the earth and the diversity of ocean domains: the continental margins to large tanks. Large ocean basins
The course for a round the world regatta leads the boats through the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, Southern Indian and South Pacific Oceans. On their voyage, the skippers come across a large variety of oceanographic situations: strong currents, floating ice, wave formations of every kind and biological diversity. In this course the student will learn about the foundations of the science of oceanography. You'll learn about the classification and formation of the ocean floor, how current sea satellite analysis systems work, the chemistry of the oceans and the processes that led to its formation. To follow this course does not require previous knowledge of oceanography.
