Brad deYoung Physics Memorial

The instructor for this course will be Brad deYoung who can be found in C-4062. The course deals with the physics of the processes in the ocean, providing an integrative view of the field of oceanography. The importance of physical processes to other aspects of oceanography is treated. We meet in room C-3067 from 09:00 to 10:15 on Tuesday and Thursdays. The outline for the course is Course outline Notes As available the course notes will be placed here. I will keep these updated just after each class. 1. Introductory Material Stewart Ch 1,2,3, 4 2.
