Oceanografi Fisik (Physical oceanography) adalah matakuliah di Teknik Geomatika ITS yang membahas tentang kondisi fisik dan proses fisik yang terjadi di lautan, terutama terkait dengan pergerakan dan properti fisik dari (air) laut.
Sebagai bahan untuk memudahkan proses belajar, MIT Open CourseWare telah membuka beberapa literatur yang bisa digunakan oleh publik, diantaranya adalah:
- Introduction to Physical Oceanography by Robert Stewart
- Regional Oceanography: An Introduction by Matthias Tomczak and Stuart Godfrey
- Climate Data Library
- The TAO/TRITON Array
- Ocean Color
