2. Ocean current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_current

   Ocean currents move both horizontally, on scales that can span entire oceans, as well as vertically, with vertical currents (upwelling and downwelling) playing an important role in the movement of nutrients and gases, such as carbon dioxide, between the surface and the deep ocean. Ocean currents flow for great distances and together they create ...

3. Mooring (oceanography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooring_(oceanography)

   Mooring as deployed in Fram Strait with top buoy, a CTD-sensor, two rotor current meters, acoustic release and train wheels as anchor. A mooring in oceanography is a collection of devices connected to a wire and anchored on the sea floor. It is the Eulerian way of measuring ocean currents, since a mooring is

4. Antarctic Circumpolar Current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Circumpolar_Current

   Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is an ocean current that flows clockwise (as seen from the South Pole) from west to east around Antarctica. An alternative name for the ACC is the West Wind Drift .

6. Thermohaline circulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermohaline_circulation

   Computer models of ocean circulation increasingly place most of the deep upwelling in the Southern Ocean, associated with the strong winds in the open latitudes between South America and Antarctica. [28] Direct estimates of the strength of the thermohaline circulation have also been made at 26.5°N in the North Atlantic, by the UK-US RAPID ...

7. Argo (oceanography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo_(oceanography)

   These "Deep Argo" floats are designed to reach depths of 4000 or 6000 metres, versus 2000 metres for standard floats. This will allow a much greater volume of the ocean to be sampled. Such measurements are important for developing a comprehensive understanding of the ocean, such as trends in heat content. [12] [13]
