Features
• Gives students the opportunity to work with real data drawn from research projects done aboard vessels in the U.S. oceanographic fleet and from various national oceanographic surveys
• All experiments can be done with minimal equipment and can be used as supplemental work for lecture courses without formal lab sessions
• Includes basic materials for performing the exercises, including reference tables, maps, graph forms, and glossaries of special terms
