  2. California Current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Current

    The differences observed by Hayward and Venrick in carbon-fixation rates (0.22.0 grams carbon/(meter-squared × day)) show the heterogeneous nature of the California Current, with its combination of advected (see advection) and upwelled water. Several studies have investigated the carbon flow from primary production to the pelagic fish ...

    Once calculated the radial velocity of currents, distance to target, and the angular direction to target it is possible to determine the current vector and to construct current vector maps. In fact, for the area in which vector data from two CODAR sites overlap, it is possible to calculate the velocity and direction of the current and ...

  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. Boundary current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_current

    The world's largest ocean gyres. Western boundary currents may themselves be divided into sub-tropical or low-latitude western boundary currents.Sub-tropical western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast-flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification.

  7. Coastal California - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_California

    Coastal California is heavily influenced by east–west distances to the dominant cold California Current as well as microclimates.Due to hills and coast ranges having strong meteorological effects, summer and winter temperatures (other than occasional heat waves) are heavily moderated by ocean currents and fog with strong seasonal lags compared to interior valleys as little as 10 mi (16 km) away.

  8. Ocean current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_current

    The largest ocean current is the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), a wind-driven current which flows clockwise uninterrupted around Antarctica. The ACC connects all the ocean basins together, and also provides a link between the atmosphere and the deep ocean due to the way water upwells and downwells on either side of it.
