NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 
THEORETICAL AND PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY REID 
Theoretical and quantitative aspects; equations of motion; 
equation of continuity; boundary conditions; distribution 
of properties in the presence of diffusion; heat budget; 
stability; dynamics and computation of ocean currents; wind 
currents; turbulence; friction. 
THEORY OF OCEAN WAVES REID, NOWLIN 
Theory of simple harmonic surface waves; wave groups and 
group velocity, wave energy and energy propagationl disper- 
sion. Theory of generation and decay of surface waves. 
Waves of large steepness, including solitary and enoidal 
waves. Modification of waves in shallow water, refraction; 
wave ray analysis and the phase diagram. Capillary waves; 
internal waves and shear waves. 
ENGINEERING ASPECTS OF OCEANOGRAPHY REID 
Applications of oceanographic knowledge in engineering. Sea 
disturbances, astronomical tides, seismic sea waves, seiches, 
surging in harbors, wind generation of ocean waves. Practical 
wave forecasting; wave refraction diagram analysis; propagation 
of waves in shallow water, breaking waves. Principles of 
similitude, fluid resistance, wave forces on fixed and floating 
structures. Sediment movement; coastal erosion and stabiliza- 
tion. Harbor location and design; breakwater, and dike con- 
struction. Density currents in estuaries; diffusion and dispersal 
and pollutants. 
DYNAMICS OF THE OCEAN AND ATMOSPHERE REID 
Advanced theory of the ocean dynamics, a comparison of the 
hydrodynamic and thermodynamic character of the ocean and the 
atmosphere; the mutual dependence of the dynamics and thermo- 
dynamics of the sea on those of the air and vice versa; some 
special theories from the mean equations of motion, gradient 
wind, jet stream, mutual adjustment of the mass field and 
velocity field in the sea; mutually coupled temperature varia- 
tions of the sea and the air; wind driven currents; the general 
hydrodynamic problem of the ocean and of the atmosphere, and 
an investigation of its uniqueness; the maintenance of the 
general circulation.
