The oceanographer's companion : essential nautical skills for seagoing scientists and engineers
Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Maul, George A Genre: Handbook Publisher: CRC Press ISBN: 1498773060,978-1-4987-7306-5 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 207 Description: Scientists and engineers embarking on their first voyage for oceanographic or meteorological research are often unprepared for the experience. Going to sea involves learning a new language – that of the seaman. This is necessary for clear communications, for the safety and well-being of the members of the scientific party and the ship’s crew. The Oceanographer’s Companion is intended to familiarize a student with the basics of navigation, seamanship, marine engineering, communications, safety-of-life-at-sea, shiphandling, knots and splices, first aid, and so much more. The book will have a very practical feel with lots of examples.
