The Labrador Current is a cold ocean current in the North Atlantic Ocean which flows from the Arctic Ocean south along the coast of Labrador and passes around Newfoundland, continuing south along the east coast of Nova Scotia. It is a continuation of the West Greenland Current and the Baffin...

It is an oceanic gateway between Bear Island and the northern part of Norway at the western boundary of the Barents Sea. The Barents Sea is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean with a rather shallow continental shelf (average depth ∼250 m). The Norwegian Atlantic Current carrying the AW ...
The Gulf Stream, which runs like a friendly blue river across the cold green Atlantic Ocean, is one of the mightiest powers in the worlD. By comparison, the Mississippi and the mighty Amazon are but small rivers. Two million tons of coal burned every minute would not equal the heat that...
24 What is the final effect of katabatic winds? A Increase the moving speed of ocean current B Increase salt level near the ocean surface C Bring fresh ice into southern oceans D Pile up the mountainous ice cap ...
Unprecedented quantities of heat are entering the Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean through Bering Strait, particularly during summer months. Though some heat is lost to the atmosphere during autumn cooling, a significant fraction of the incoming warm,
F The circulatory system of the world’s oceans is like a huge conveyor belt, moving water and dis-solved minerals and nutrients from one hemisphere to the other, and from the ocean’s abyssal depths to the surface. The ACC is the longest current in the world, and has the largest flow...
Due to its large northward heat transport, the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation influences both weather and climate at the mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere. Here we use a state-of-the-art global weather/climate modeling system with high resolu
The eastern and northeastern states are affected by extra-tropical cyclonic weather systems in the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico that produce snow, ice storms, and occasional blizzards. View chapterExplore book Environmental Factors Dennis A. Attwood, ... Mary E. Danz-Reece, in Ergonomic...
On the basis of the idea in our work (Jiang and Wallace, 1991), the horizontal structure of SST pattern, the atmospheric response to SST change and the atmospheric forcing of the ocean in the Northern Pacific during the cold season are discussed. The results show that PNA pattern is the ...
