Definition
Oceanography – The science that deals with
the study and exploration of seas and oceans. NASA Thesaurus,
Washington, DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
NASA Interest
Exhaustive Interest : Studies by aerospace
means of air-sea interactions, marine resources, and the ocean floor;
ocean currents and wave phenomena; also marine studies having potential
relevance to ground truth for remote sensing and climate modeling.
Selective Interest : Ocean floor core drilling
related to age studies, plate movement, and Earth structure.
Negative Interest : Oil and mineral drilling
and searching; and fish location.
