suggestions for any formulas to learn??

I'm sorry for asking the same question again, but I want to know where to study for the "downloaded dataset of oxygen to identify water masses and pathways of circulation"

The "Representative Tasks" section is just a list of examples of good problems they can give you on a test. That does not mean they are part of the official rules. If a question like that were to show up on a test, the best way to prepare would be to simply have a good understanding of the concepts that are required for the question rather than going out and memorizing a ton of random facts.

You don't want to study for that question in particular. The point of putting that type of question as an example is to show that not only should you be able to answer a simple definition question, but you should also understand underlying concepts and be able to apply them and use critical thinking.

Waves is so confusing?? Im not sure what they are asking for?? Like all of them except tsunami and swell are difficult:
What is the difference between surf and swell?? (This is probably a dumb question, but i would appreciate it if someone cleared some things up for me!! :') ))

Okay, so here's what I understand:

Swell waves are the standard sea waves, which are produced by fetch (I assume you understand fetch), while surf waves are waves being acted upon by the bottom that aren't tsunamis. I believe that surf waves are called surf waves because of surfers xD (@Hawaiians correct me if I'm wrong). There are I believe 2 main types of surf waves: Plungers and spillers.

*Disclaimer that I am just pulling this out of my memory so it could be completely wrong.*

Even if it may be wrong it really helps! :0000

Not gonna say I know that much about this either, but do u mean breaking waves? Then I would add surging waves to plunging and spilling

Don't forget collapsing breakers, which according the Wiki "are a cross between plunging and surging" breakers.

Where do you guys study for sensible and latent heat fluxes? Having trouble finding a place with a lot of information.

How much do we need to know on the different water masses?, i have a list of all of them and some info on the main three, but im honestly so confused
