Ocean Bathymetry and Water Properties - The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change
Offered By: Yale University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore ocean bathymetry and water properties in this 51-minute lecture from Yale University's course on The Atmosphere, the Ocean and Environmental Change. Dive into plate tectonics and its influence on ocean depth, examining mid-ocean ridges and seamounts formed by mantle dynamics. Learn about acoustic depth profiling techniques used to measure these underwater features. Investigate ocean water properties like temperature and salinity, along with methods for measuring both surface and deep water characteristics. Journey through the bathymetry of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic Oceans, gaining insights into the unique features of each. Recorded in Fall 2011, this comprehensive lecture provides a solid foundation in oceanography and plate tectonics.
