MS 100 (Lecture) & MS 100 L (Lab)
    
Marine Science Department, Orange Coast College
    Marine Science 100 (Lecture) - Oceanography - and Marine Science 100 L (Lab) Oceanography
     are general survey, beginning-level, marine science classes at Orange Coast College.  Both
     classes introduce students to physical, chemical, geological, meteorological, and biological
     oceanography concepts.  The lecture class is worth 3 units and the lab is worth 1 unit.  They
     are also the prerequisite classes for all of the other marine science classes offered at O.C.C.
    (i.e. Marine Mammals, Aquarium class, Coastal Oceanography, and Marine Biology).  These
    two classes are transferable to both the University of California and the California State
    University system for course credit and unit credit to fulfill the requirments under the
    I.G.E.T.S.I. transfer program for physical and natural science credit.  Both classes complement
    each other and it is possible to take the lecture class (MS 100) without taking the lab class
    (MS100L).  However, concurrent enrollment in MS 100 or successful completion of MS 100 with a
    grade of "C" or better is the prerequisiste for MS 100L.

January 23, 2008 - El nino or La Nina?  Which is it?  After NOAA
forecasters predicted a dryer than normal La Nina condition
developing in the equatorial Pacific for this year and dryer than
normal conditions over the west coast of the United States, the
resulting weather that has occurred has been quite different. 
Southern California, for example, is experiencing nearly record
rainfall for the months of Nov, Dec, and January.  Heavy snows and
blizzards have blanketed the midwest of the U.S.  These are more
like El Nino conditions.  So, which is it? El Nino or La Nina or something new and different? For more information:
