The phrase "oceanographic environment" is correct and can be used in written English.
You can use it when referring to the physical and biological conditions of an ocean or marine ecosystem. For example, you could write: "The oceanographic environment of the Pacific Ocean is often a topic of conversation among scientists."
Dolphin sightings were analyzed at a range of scales (2 120 km) relative to oceanographic features and no scale dependence was found [59] suggesting that dolphins were most likely using their oceanographic environment at broader scales than were measured.
For example, in August 2008, NOAA's Alaska Fisheries Science Center was funded by MMS to survey the offshore waters of the Beaufort Sea to provide estimates of abundance and species composition of marine fishes and invertebrates, as well as information on the macro- and microzooplankton communities and their oceanographic environment [278].
These colonies are adjacent to two distinct oceanographic environments.
In this study, 22 temporary residence areas that may correspond to foraging areas have been identified in contrasted oceanographic environments ranging from neritic to oceanic domains for 16 Atlantic leatherback turtles.
After suffering further injuries that precluded any more ocean floor exploration, Carpenter retired from the navy in 1969 and started a company, Sea Sciences, devoted to oceanographic research and the environment.
As a result of this movement and local oceanographic conditions, coral reef environments are extending ever so slowly southward.
Ongoing oceanographic research includes marine lifeforms, conservation, the marine environment, the chemistry of the ocean, the studying and modelling of climate dynamics, the air-sea boundary, weather patterns, ocean resources, renewable energy, waves and currents, and the design and development of new tools and technologies for investigating the deep.
An important component of oceanographic studies is the collection of data from the aquatic environment.
Monitoring of the marine environment for radioactivity, for both radiological protection and oceanographic purposes, remains an expensive and labour intensive activity due to the large sample volumes needed and the complex and lengthy analytical procedures required to measure low levels of contamination.
I study tiny fossil marine algal remains (dinoflagellate cysts) that can give information about past oceanographic conditions, such as ocean current systems or upper ocean environments.
These organisms inhabit a broad range of ecological environments from fresh water, soil to diverse open oceanographic areas [ 1].
