📖 SFW Meteorology in a round the World Regatta Certificate  🕐  7 wks Fundació Navegació Oceànica Barcelona 🔗 Tomàs Molina Universitat de Barcellona Completed by  Dawid F. Prestini April 5, 2021 Grade Achieved: 95.33% Certifies their successful completion of Oceanography: a key to better understand our world In this course you can learn about the mechanics of global weather, the foundations of ocean meteorology, predictive modeling and how sailors receive data via satellite and use high-performance navigation software. This course looks at oceanic meteorology and climatology through the lens of the sport of sailing. You will gain a basic knowledge of meteorology needed by sailors to take part in a regatta such as the Barcelona World Race, the only double-handed, round the world regatta with no stops. You will learn about the strategies employed during a round the world regatta and how these are put to use on board the latest ocean racing yachts.

Jordi Serra  Universitat de Barcellona The course for a round the world regatta leads the boats through the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, Southern Indian and South Pacific Oceans. On their voyage, the skippers come across a large variety of oceanographic situations: strong currents, floating ice, wave formations of every kind and biological diversity. In this course the student will learn about the foundations of the science of oceanography. You'll learn about the classification and formation of the ocean floor, how current sea satellite analysis systems work, the chemistry of the oceans and the processes that led to its formation. WEEK1 1A - The Mediterranean: a model of an ocean - Temperature, salinity and pressure. Module 1 addresses some of the fundamental concepts of descriptive oceanography related to the physical characteristics of water: the vertical dis...
