Oceanographic Measurements

Oceanographic measurements involve collecting data about the physical, chemical, biological, and geological properties of the ocean. This includes measurements of temperature, salinity, currents, wave height, and chemical composition using specialized instruments like buoys, ships, and underwater sensors. These measurements help scientists understand ocean behavior, track climate change, support marine navigation, and protect marine ecosystems. Accurate data collection is essential for making informed decisions about the environment and sustainable ocean use.
