    New horizons for naval oceanography
    Dacanay, Rafael V.; Reyes, Rolando (Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, 2002)
    Naval oceanography is a crucial field that extends beyond the traditional study of the sea, focusing on the investigation of all physical phenomena that influence naval operations. It encompasses the collection, processing, application, and dissemination of information across oceanography, hydrography, and meteorology. This discipline plays an essential role in daily naval operations and is increasingly vital for the effective performance of modern naval weapon systems. Oceanographic factors, including bioluminescence, internal waves, and shadow zones, have significant impacts on naval activities. Historical events, such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the Normandy invasion, underscore the critical influence of oceanographic knowledge in naval history. The Philippine Navy has established the Naval Oceanographic and Meteorological Unit (NOMU) to manage oceanographic, hydrographic, and meteorological activities, supporting fleet operations and contributing to the development of marine science in the country.
