Undergraduate Courses: 
201. SEA AND AIR SCIENCES ADAMS 
Oceanography and meteorology as scientific career fields. 
Features of the natural environment which affect man's 
daily life and activities. A survey course open to all 
college students. 
401. INTRODUCTION TO OCEANOGRAPHY STAFF 
The various aspects of oceanography with emphasis upon 
those pertinent in the Gulf of Mexico. The principles 
upon which the disciplines of the subject are based. The

Graduate Courses: 
600. SURVEY OF METEOROLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY 
A survey course in meteorology and oceanography designed 
for teachers of secondary school science. 
603. SEA LABORATORY TECHNIQUES STAFF 
Practice in techniques used regularly aboard ship and in 
collecting field data. Cruise planning, navigational 
methods, collection of hydrographic, bathymetric and 
meteorological data, sediment sampling, biological 
sampling, and the collection of water samples for chemical 
analysis will be stressed.

transmission of light and sound in the sea, sea ice; heat 
budget of the sea and transformation of energy within the 
sea and at the boundaries; evaporation from the sea, descrip- 
tion of water masses and their origin; the horizontal and 
vertical circulation of the seas; the applied dynamic and
