The ocean is vast, highly dynamic, and incredibly complex, making its study a continuous challenge. To analyze its variability across spatial and temporal scales, physical oceanography relies on a wide range of methods and tools. These include theoretical approaches, observational techniques, numerical modeling, and data-driven methodologies, all of which help us better understand oceanic processes.
In this section, we highlight some of the most essential and widely used methods and tools in physical oceanography. While it is nearly impossible to cover everything, our aim is to provide a curated selection of key resources that facilitate ocean research and exploration.
Any suggestion is very welcome, so please contact us if you have any method or tool you would like to add to this collection.
