Physical oceanography
![](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/AYool_topography_15min.png?width=300)
Physical oceanography is the study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of ocean waters.Physical oceanography is one of several sub-domains into which oceanography is divided. Others include biological, chemical and geological oceanographies.
