    The related California Current Conservation Complex is a grouping of federally-designated marine protected areas that have been on the UNESCO list of tentative World Heritage Sites since 2017, which includes the following areas found throughout the current: the Point Reyes National Seashore, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the ...

  3. 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.

  4. Four-current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-current

    In special and general relativity, the four-current (technically the four-current density) [1] is the four-dimensional analogue of the current density, with units of charge per unit time per unit area. Also known as vector current, it is used in the geometric context of four-dimensional spacetime, rather than separating time from three ...

    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 ...

  7. Davidson Current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davidson_Current

    In oceanography, the Davidson Current is a coastal countercurrent of the Pacific Ocean running north along the western coast of the United States from Baja California, Mexico to northern Oregon, ending at about latitude 48°N, [1] [2] Its flow is adjacent to the California Current, but it flows north rather than south and hugs the coastline.

  8. North Pacific Current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pacific_Current

    This is associated with a decrease in the speed of current; eastward directed speeds at the surface are typically less than 0.05 m/s (5 cm/s) in the central Pacific. As the NPC approaches the west coast of North America, it divides into two broad currents: the northward flowing Alaska Current and the southward flowing California Current.
