2. Eddy pumping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_pumping

   When describing vertical motion in eddies it is important to note that eddy pumping is only one component of a complex mechanism. Another important factor to take into account, especially when considering ocean-wind interaction, is the role played by eddy-induced Ekman pumping . [ 7 ]

3. 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.

4. 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 ...

5. 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 .

6. 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. They carry warm water from the ...

7. Mysterious double 'whirlpools' are popping up in the ocean

   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. Ocean gyre - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_gyre

   There are five major subtropical gyres across the world's oceans: the North Atlantic Gyre, the South Atlantic Gyre, the Indian Ocean Gyre, the North Pacific Gyre, and the South Pacific Gyre. All subtropical gyres are anticyclonic, meaning that in the northern hemisphere they rotate clockwise, while the gyres in the southern hemisphere rotate ...
