The general circulation is governed by the equation of motion, one of the fundamental laws of mechanics developed by English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton that was applied to a continuous volume of water. This equation states that the product of mass and current acceleration equals ...

Labrador Current, surface oceanic current flowing southward along the west side of the Labrador Sea. Originating at the Davis Strait, the Labrador Current is a combination of the West Greenland Current, the Baffin Island Current, and inflow from Hudson B
The distributions and transports of deepwater masses at the western boundary in the tropical Atlantic off Brazil have been studied on three surveys along 35°W and 5°S and one at 10°S. Transports are obtained from direct measurements of the velocity fields (Pegasus profiling system and lowered...
Dense water masses transported southward along the east coast of Greenland in the East Greenland Current (EGC) form the largest contribution to the Denmark Strait Overflow. When exiting Denmark Strait these dense water masses sink to depth and feed the deep circulation in the North Atlantic. Base...
The AMOC is a long current cycle in the Atlantic Ocean that transports warm water across the globe. It's an incredibly slow-moving system that takes roughly 1,000 years to move any given cubic meter of water through its entirety, according to NOAA. ...
by Nancy Lavin, Rhode Island Current September 4, 2024 Jim Boyd’s heart sank the first time he saw the now-infamous image of a fractured wind turbine blade dangling above the Atlantic Ocean. Not because of the fiberglass and styrofoam debris collected from the waters and shoreline along Nantu...
(126°–160°E) meridional sections of water properties (Fig.3a–c) shows that the upper-layer thermocline is shallowest in the ITCZ at 8°N, which deepens gradually both to the south and to the north until encountering a local maximum at 14°N before shoaling again to the north in ...

the powerful eastward-flowing circumpolarAntarctic Current, which separates theSouthern Oceanfrom the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. It is a very deep, cold, and relatively slow current, but it carries avastmass of water, about twice the volume of the Gulf Stream. The Peru and Benguela ...
