Oceanography is a multidisciplinary subject in which the knowledge of geology, geophysics, chemis­ try, physics, meteorology, computer science and biology are used to understand the oceans. Physical oceanography critically investigates about the marine meteorology, the study of heat transfer, water cycles, ocean current and air sea interactions. Chemical oceanography studies the composition and history of seawater, its processes and interactions. Geological oceanography deals with various proc­ esses of ocean surface and ocean basins. Biological oceanography restricts itself in the domain of marine biota and the relationship between marine biodiversity and ocean environment. Ocean en­ gineering is the discipline of designing and planning equipments used for sea exploration.

Abstract


Oceanography is a multidisciplinary subject in which the knowledge of geology, geophysics, chemis­ try, physics, meteorology, computer science and biology are used to understand the oceans. Physical oceanography critically investigates about the marine meteorology, the study of heat transfer, water cycles, ocean current and air sea interactions. Chemical oceanography studies the composition and history of seawater, its processes and interactions. Geological oceanography deals with various proc­ esses of ocean surface and ocean basins. Biological oceanography restricts itself in the domain of marine biota and the relationship between marine biodiversity and ocean environment. Ocean en­ gineering is the discipline of designing and planning equipments used for sea exploration.
