 		Objective of the course is to provide the basic knowledge of the dynamic of both the atmosphere and the ocean, to identify the spatial and temporal scale of the main processes and their interactions. Meteorological phenomena are described and quantified by the variables of Earth’s atmosphere: temperature, air pressure, water vapour, mass flow, and the variations and interactions of those variables, and how they change over time. Different spatial scales are used to describe and predict weather on local, regional, and global levels. The aim of the course, starting from the definition of the sea water properties and the temporal and spatial variability of water masses, is to discuss the main mechanisms of regional and large scale circulation. Simple cases of Navier-Stokes equations solution leading to the geostrophic and wind driven currents description will be considered. Characterize the tide in terms of tidal forces and local hydrographic features and to evaluate the effect of non-tidal influences on the sea level variations. Different methods of tidal analysis and prediction will be discussed. Wind waves and swell principles, generation process and regimes will be also part of the course. As most of these processes are characterized by a well defined temporal scale, an introduction to time series and spectral analysis will be included.
