Front 1

What are Ocean Eddies? Types?
(2)

Back 1

Eddies is the circulation of water.
1.Cold Eddie: current is moving in counterclockwise, then it is called cyclonic eddy.
2.Warm Eddie: current is moving clockwise, then it is called anti-cyclonic eddy.

Front 2

Tides
(4)

Back 2

1.Ebb (outgoing or receding tide)
2.Flood (overflow & submerge land)
3.High tide (Water risen to its highest level)
4.Low tide (water lowered to its lowest level)

Front 3

Currents

Back 3

1.Open ocean (by wind)
2.Littoral (parallel to shore)
3.Rip (it finds an exit and go back to the ocean)

Front 4

Ocean Thermal Layer
(3)

Back 4

1.Mixed Layer: top layer
2.Thermocline Layer (thin layer in between, temperature changes rapidly)
3.Deep Layer (bottom layer at depth of 1000 fathoms).

Front 5

Transmission of sound in ocean
(3)

Back 5

1.Temperature (the greater the temperature, the faster sounds travel)
2.Pressure/Depth (the sound transmission increases with pressure & depth)
3.Salinity

6.Chemical, Biological, Nuclear (dispersion by weather)
7.Information warfare

Front 7

Effects of atmosphere on Radar Beam
(3)

Back 7

1.Standard Refraction
2.Super refraction (Target might appear higher than normal conditions)
3.Sub-Refraction (causes Radar to overshoot target)

3.Reconstitution of Space Forces (replacing lost or diminished space capabilities)

Front 10

Tropical Cyclone Conditions of Readiness (COR)

Back 10

COR 5: Destructive Weather not anticipated within the next 72 Hrs. (this condition set during Hurricane season)
COR4 (Winds of Excess of 50 Knots/72 Hrs.)
