Lecture Notes in Physical Oceanography
Subject
Oceanographic instruments
Description
These notes were originally written in 1976 for the course "Gf 0 - Basic Course in
Geophysics". The course offered an introduction to the different fields covered by the Department of Geophysics: physics of the solid earth, meteorology, hydrology, and physical oceanography. The notes in oceanography were written by professor Odd Henrik Sælen and scientific assistant Eyvind Aas. Through the years the course changed name to Gf 100 and Gf 001, and at some point a single textbook was chosen to cover all the fields. Finally, in
1995, the course was closed down.
In later years the notes have been found to provide a brief and useful introduction to
the more descriptive parts of physical oceanography, which is why they have come to new use in GEF2610. During the 30 years that have passed, only the methods of measurement have changed significantly, and accordingly most of the text remains in its original form. The
translation to English was made in 2007 with support from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.
