A few things I wrote :
- A survival kit in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics.
I wrote this primarily has a memory-helper when I was preparing for my qualifiers. I find new typos anytime i re-read it, and it is not always so clear, but you may find a few useful derivations and equations summary in there.

Some very basic information about tides.

Same idea. As I could find no good text on tides that would have both equations and simple explanations, I tried to write my own. You are fully entitled to say that it sucks, however.

A colorful powerpoint presentation that means to introduce our world ocean.

Intended for people who have never taken a class in oceanography and who need to pass their qualifiers in Earth Sciences.
