What it is about

You learn fundamentals of physical oceanography (temperature, salinity, density, large-scale circulation, sea state, tides) and the measurement principles as well as validation of radar altimetry. In the end you will be able to analyze altimetry data, apply measurement corrections and evaluate observations in the context of Earth system monitoring.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand the fundamental principles of physical oceanography
  • Understand principles of satellite altimeter missions
  • Recognize satellite altimetry as an operational remote sensing technique
  • Apply observation techniques and necessary measurement corrections
  • Apply essential analytical methods to practical problems
  • Analyze and interpret results
  • Relate to Earth system monitoring

What the module consists of

  • LectureConveying the theoretical foundations of oceanography and altimetry
  • Hands-on/ExercisePractical examples for the analysis of oceanographic data with altimetry

Teaching method

  • Electronic presentationsDelivery of content and structure
  • Handouts (electronic)Support for self-study and reference material
  • Chalk/BlackboardExplanation and derivation of concepts
  • Jupyter Notebooks and online visualization toolsPractical data analysis and demonstrations
