The NPGO has global impacts outside of the Eastern North Pacific. Its secondary role in modeling SSTa suggest that tropically coupled dynamics could play a driving role in NPGO fluctuations. [ 4 ] [ 1 ] It is quite possible that with continuing climate change the NPGO can aid in determining underlying drivers of decadal ecosystem variability ...

The North Pacific Current. The North Pacific Current (sometimes referred to as the North Pacific Drift) is an ocean current that flows west-to-east between 30 and 50 degrees north in the Pacific Ocean. The current forms the southern part of the North Pacific Subpolar Gyre and the northern part of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre.
The North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) is the largest contiguous ecosystem on earth. In oceanography, a subtropical gyre is a ring-like system of ocean currents rotating clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere caused by the Coriolis Effect. They generally form in large open ocean areas that lie ...
