This course presents central aspects of physical oceanography, with emphasis on the global circulation and processes that are essential for it. This includes theories for the wind-driven circulation (in both one and several layers), and for the global overturning circulation and how it is forced by small-scale mixing. The different roles played by temperature and salinity in the circulation is also studied. Other topics are tropical circulation, internal waves, hydraulics, observational datasets, and the Baltic Sea.
