Physical Oceanographer
Physical Oceanography is the study of the Earth's oceans and their interactions with the atmosphere and land. Physical oceanographers study the physical properties of the ocean, such as temperature, salinity, and density, as well as the circulation of the ocean currents. They use this knowledge to understand how the ocean affects the climate and weather, and to predict how the ocean will change in the future.
Education and Training
Most physical oceanographers have a bachelor's degree in oceanography, physics, or a related field. Some physical oceanographers also have a master's degree or doctorate in oceanography or a related field.
