This module builds on the introduction to chemical and physical oceanography in the first year module OSX1005 Introducing the Oceans.
The module aims to:
-
explain the physical principles that govern the tides in continental shelf sea and coastal waters;
-
explore the origin of surface waves and explain their transformation and dissipation as they enter shallow coastal waters.
-
develop understanding of how waves and tides may be used to generate marine renewable energy
-
provide experience with MATLAB signal processing of oceanographic data to identify waves and tides.
Cynnwys cwrs
Physical oceanography:
Topics relating to the tides will be the speed of shallow water waves, the effect of wave reflection and the Earth's rotation, amphidromic systems, tidal friction, and an explanation of the tides around the UK.
Topics related to surface waves will be wave generation by wind/storms, the propagation of wave energy in deep and shallow water, wave transformation and refraction in coastal waters, wave diffraction, wave breaking and the classification of breaking waves, breakpoint bars on beaches.
Topics related to marine renewable energy will include and introduction to how renewable energy is generated offshore from winds, tides and waves, how marine energy resource is evaluated and a discussion of devices used in the generation of marine energy, and their deployment.
