[168] Maritime leisure activities are varied, and include self-organized trips cruising, yachting, powerboat racing [169] and fishing; [170] commercially organized voyages on cruise ships; [171] and trips on smaller vessels for ecotourism such as whale watching and coastal birdwatching.

Spanning smaller distances, a few hundred to a few thousand kilometres, and possessing shorter lifetimes, a few to several days, this class contains the migrating cyclones and anticyclones that control day-to-day weather changes. Sometimes the planetary and synoptic scales are combined into a single classification termed the large-scale, or macroscale. Large-scale wind systems are distinguished by the predominance of horizontal motions over vertical motions and by the preeminent importance of the Coriolis force in influencing wind characteristics. Examples of large-scale wind systems include the trade winds and the westerlies. These meteorites are dated to the same epoch in which water was believed to have formed on Earth—some 11 million years after the formation of the Solar System. In short, it now appears that meteorites were depositing water on Earth in its earliest days. Sterling, Christopher H. (2008). Military communications: from ancient times to the 21st century.

The naval battle of Tsushima, the ultimate contest of the 1904–1905 Russo-Japanese War, was one of the most decisive sea battles in history. Johnson, Ken (30 July 2009).

The large and highly variable energy of waves gives them enormous destructive capability, making affordable and reliable wave machines problematic to develop. A small 2 MW commercial wave power plant, "Osprey", was built in Northern Scotland in 1995 about 300 metres (980 feet) offshore. It was soon damaged by waves, then destroyed by a storm. [3] :112

Marine primary producers–plants and microscopic organisms in the plankton–are widespread and very essential for the ecosystem. It has been estimated that half of the world's oxygen is produced by phytoplankton. [85] [86] About 45 percent of the sea's primary production of living material is contributed by diatoms. [87] Much larger algae, commonly known as seaweeds, are important locally; Sargassum forms floating drifts, while kelp form seabed forests. [82] :246–255 Flowering plants in the form of seagrasses grow in " meadows" in sandy shallows, [88] mangroves line the coast in tropical and subtropical regions [89] and salt-tolerant plants thrive in regularly inundated salt marshes. [90] All of these habitats are able to sequester large quantities of carbon and support a biodiverse range of larger and smaller animal life.

The concept of scale considers the typical size and lifetime of a phenomenon. Since the atmosphere exhibits such a large variety of both spatial and temporal scales, efforts have been made to group various phenomena into scale classes. The class describing the largest and longest-lived of these phenomena is known as the planetary scale. Such phenomena are typically a few thousand kilometres in size and have lifetimes ranging from several days to several weeks. Examples of planetary-scale phenomena include the semipermanent pressure centres discussed above and certain globe-encircling upper-air waves ( see below Upper-air waves).

Effects of climate change on the sea: an increase in sea surface temperature as well as ocean temperatures at greater depths, more frequent marine heatwaves, a reduction in pH value, a rise in sea level from ocean warming and ice sheet melting, sea ice decline in the Arctic, increased upper ocean stratification, reductions in oxygen levels, increased contrasts in salinity (salty areas becoming saltier and fresher areas becoming less salty), [214] changes to ocean currents including a weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, and stronger tropical cyclones and monsoons.
