1. Introducing the importance of seas and oceans and their relationship to atmospheric science. Also, introducing the characteristics of sea and ocean water in terms of temperature, salinity, and basic concepts about waves, classifying them according to their general shape, and dividing them on the basis of the influence of winds.2. Studying wave energy, factors affecting waves, wave speed in water, deep water waves, shallow water waves, transitional water waves, waves breaking on the beach. Also a study of tides (tides): definition of tides, extent of tides: spring tides (high), moderate tides (lower), forces causing tides, other factors affecting tides.3. Introducing how to monitor and measure marine meteorological variables: ship observations, reports of marine meteorological observations, temperature monitoring, humidity, atmospheric pressure, water surface temperature, depth temperature, salinity, estimation of sea visibility, ocean currents, monitoring by satellites and gliders.4. Familiarity with wave energy technologies and the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate.
