The proper name for an ocean scientist is an oceanoligist and not an oceanographer.
The oceanographer explores and document what is seen, whereas the oceanogoligist studies, analyses and gives his scientifically based informed findings

Thermohaline circulationOceanography (from Ocean + Greek γÏάÏειν = write), also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth Sciences that studies the Earth's oceans and seas. Oceanographers study a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries.

A general term would be oceanographer. Depending on their area of expertise, there might be a better term. For example, a marine biologist studies animal and plant life in the ocean... A marine geologist studies the ocean's geology.
