In this course we will build on what you have learned in Ocean 210 to develop a more quantitative physical understanding of oceanic processes. We will review the basic steady state physical balances in the ocean, and investigate how mixing and flow can induced changes in water properties. We will then move onto time dependent motions, waves and tides as well as a review of the physical oceanography of Puget Sound.
