  2. Wind generated current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_generated_current

    A Wind generated current is a flow in a body of water that is generated by wind friction on its surface. Wind can generate surface currents on water bodies of any size. The depth and strength of the current depend on the wind strength and duration, and on friction and viscosity losses, [1] but are limited to about 400 m depth by the mechanism, and to lesser depths where the water is shallower. [2]

  3. Prognostic chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prognostic_chart

    Surface wind direction and speed is also forecast on this type of chart. Wave prognostic charts show the expected sea state at some future time. [2] Low-level prognostic charts used by aviators show the forecast between the Earth's surface and 24,000 feet (7,300 m) above sea level over the next two days.

  4. California Current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Current

    The cold water is highly productive due to the upwelling, which brings to the surface nutrient-rich sediments, supporting large populations of whales, seabirds and important fisheries. Winds of the appropriate direction and strength to induce upwelling are more prevalent in the presence of Eastern boundary currents, such as the California ...

  5. Weather map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_map

    More than a century ago, winds were plotted as arrows, with feathers on just one side depicting five knots of wind, while feathers on both sides depicted 10 knots (19 km/h) of wind. The notation changed to that of half of an arrow, with half of a wind barb indicating five knots, a full barb ten knots, and a pennant flag fifty knots.

  6. Florida Current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Current

    The Florida Current is a thermal ocean current that flows from the Straits of Florida around the Florida Peninsula and along the southeastern coast of the United States before joining the Gulf Stream Current near Cape Hatteras. Its contributing currents are the Loop Current and the Antilles Current.

  7. Current (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_(hydrology)

    On a global scale, wind and the rotation of the earth greatly influence the flow of ocean currents. [1] In a stream or river there the current is influenced by gravity, the term upstream (or upriver) refers to the direction towards the source of the stream (or river), i.e. against the direction of flow.

  8. Prevailing winds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevailing_winds

    In meteorology, prevailing wind in a region of the Earth's surface is a surface wind that blows predominantly from a particular direction. The dominant winds are the trends in direction of wind with the highest speed over a particular point on the Earth's surface at any given time.

  9. Boundary current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_current

    The reverse effect applies to the polar gyres – the sign of the wind stress curl and the direction of the resulting currents are reversed. The principal west-side currents (such as the Gulf Stream of the North Atlantic Ocean) are stronger than those opposite (such as the California Current of the North Pacific Ocean).
