Studies in the Theory and Application of Ocean Currents: Some Ethico‐Scientific Reflections

Abstract

In this article the author discovers a most economic method of velocity calculation of ocean currents with the help of salinity measurements at different depths instead of density measurements‐method that has been followed by the midshipmen and marine research fellows. He also presents all possible applications of ocean currents in the development of navigation, navy, power and energy‐production, oceanography, meteorology, food and medicine‐supplies. The application of ocean current dynamics on ecological life is elaborated in the case of different kinds of fish and amphibian life. The ethico‐scientific implications of these case studies are based on the knowledge of harmonious interactions that exist between the inanimate natural world (ocean currents), the animate natural world (amphibian life) and the human world.
