  2. California Current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Current

    The California Current (Spanish: Corriente de California) is a cold water Pacific Ocean current that moves southward along the western coast of North America, beginning off southern British Columbia and ending off southern Baja California Sur. It is considered an Eastern boundary current due to the influence of the North American coastline on ...

  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastal_ocean_dynamics...

    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 ...

  6. Ekman transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ekman_transport

    Contrarily to common logic, north–south winds cause mass transport in the east–west direction. [13] In order to understand the vertical velocity structure of the water column, equations 1 and 2 can be rewritten in terms of the vertical eddy viscosity term.

  8. Boundary current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_current

    They carry warm water from the tropics poleward. Examples include the Gulf Stream, the Agulhas Current, and the Kuroshio Current. Low-latitude western boundary currents are similar to sub-tropical western boundary currents but carry cool water from the subtropics equatorward. Examples include the Mindanao Current and the North Brazil Current.
