Introduction:
Oceanography, also called
oceanology or marine science, is a huge technology regarded a branch of the
Earth sciences. Oceanography is an interdisciplinary technology that uses ideas
from biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and science to evaluate ocean
currents, sea environments, ocean stormy weather, surf, ocean plate tectonics,
and features of the sea ground, such as unique biomes such as cold penetrates
and hydrothermal ports. Modern oceanography started in the 1760s.
What do Oceanographers do?
Seismology and
sub-seabed geophysics are being researched using marine observatories.
Moorings, with steel or Kevlar wire increasing from near the ocean surface to
its base, are laced with equipment that record findings internal, and perhaps
communicate them to a satellite television. And, increasingly, autonomous
undersea vehicles (AUVs) drive themselves or move with voltages for years at a
time.
In the environmentally
sensitive coastal ocean and estuaries, "cat-scans" can be done using
fast, small boats towing equipment that fly through the water on a carefully
managed course. Meanwhile, acoustic waves are sent down through the water line,
and their reflections off small contaminants in the water give complete
information of the sea speed, from top to bottom.
Oceanographic Technology Uses:
• Deep-sea cameras may be found on Remotely
Operated Vehicles (ROVs) operated from delivers, on landers placed onto the seafloor
for a long period, or on robot submarines. ROVs are extremely mobile and allow
us to discover areas of the ocean where the landscape stops us from using other
study and sampling methods - such as submarine canyons.
• Sonar can offer fascinating visual
'pictures' of sound shown from animal life in the sea. They can offer
understanding into animal behavior, such as the daily migration from deep to
superficial absolute depths.
• Long-range sonar has many uses in
relationship with ocean sources, from applying the form to identifying the
structure of the seabed. Low regularity sonar can also go through the seabed,
and offer details from structures beneath.
