2. North Atlantic Gyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Atlantic_Gyre

   View of the currents surrounding the gyre. The North Atlantic Gyre of the Atlantic Ocean is one of five great oceanic gyres.It is a circular ocean current, with offshoot eddies and sub-gyres, across the North Atlantic from the Intertropical Convergence Zone (calms or doldrums) to the part south of Iceland, and from the east coasts of North America to the west coasts of Europe and Africa.

3. Eddy pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_pumping

   Cyclonic eddies rotate anticlockwise (clockwise) in the Northern (Southern) hemisphere and have a cold core. Anticyclonic eddies rotate clockwise (anticlockwise) in the Northern (Southern) hemisphere and have a warm core. The temperature and salinity difference between the eddy core and the surrounding waters is the key element driving vertical ...

4. Ocean gyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_gyre

   The Alaska Current is the eastern boundary current of the subpolar Alaska Gyre, [18] while the California Current is the eastern boundary current that completes the North Pacific Gyre circulation. Within the North Pacific Gyre is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch , an area of increased plastic waste concentration.

5. Somali Current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somali_Current

   The Great Whirl is a huge anti-cyclonic eddy generated by the Somali current flowing in (northern) summer, and one of the two gigantic Indian Ocean Gyres (the other is the Socotra Gyre). The Great Whirl can be observed between 5-10°N and 52-57°E off the Somali coast in the summer season, a location typically around 200 km southwest of the ...

6. Loop Current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_Current

   The Loop Current is an extension of the western boundary current of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. [1] Serving as the dominant circulation feature in the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Loop Currents transports between 23 and 27 sverdrups [ 2 ] and reaches maximum flow speeds of from 1.5 to 1.8 meters/second.

   Eddies that form in that current are distinctive as well. “If they pair up they’ll shoot across the whole of the Tasman Sea and also carry the same kinds of properties with them,” Hughes says.

8. Geostrophic current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostrophic_current

   A geostrophic current is an oceanic current in which the pressure gradient force is balanced by the Coriolis effect. The direction of geostrophic flow is parallel to the isobars , with the high pressure to the right of the flow in the Northern Hemisphere , and the high pressure to the left in the Southern Hemisphere .
