Tentative description
This course explains how the ocean regulates weather and climate, with a focus on Namibia’s arid conditions. Learners explore energy, water and carbon cycles, the role of ocean currents, fog formation, droughts and extreme events such as storm surges. Regional comparisons help clarify why neighbouring countries experience very different climates.
Note: This course is based on the Ocean Literacy Toolkit for Namibia and was developed as part of the NIMPA+ project, which supports marine protection, ocean literacy and sustainable ocean use in Namibia. https://nimpaplus.com
