Goals¶
Understand the water masses, circulation and other aspects of descriptive physical oceanography of the Global Ocean & its marginal seas
To accomplish this, one will:¶
Learn to extract data subsets from map plots
Learn how to use advanced JOA tools for working with basin-scale data sets
Tools¶
