海洋科学是一门实验科学。现代海洋科技工作者在研究海洋、认识海洋的过程中需要进行两方面的工作,这与传统实验室科学有着本质的区别:第一步工作是寻找、鉴别和研究发生在复杂环境系统内的主要过程或现象;第二步是在实验室条件下模拟海洋环境中确实发生的现象或过程,验证第一步主要过程的真实性。 Marine science is an experimental science. Modern ocean science and technology workers need to do two kinds of work in the process of studying the oceans and knowing the ocean. This is essentially different from the traditional laboratory science. The first step is to find, identify and study the major ones that occur in complex environmental systems Process or phenomenon; the second step is to simulate the phenomena or processes that actually occur in the marine environment under laboratory conditions and to verify the authenticity of the primary process in the first step.
