But since the Earth does rotate, the Coriolis force deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemisphere, this deflection causes the

33. In both regions, bottlenecks of water transport persistently appear and we show their importance in controlling the exchange of water masses between different areas of the ocean surface. Finally, we compare betweenness fields with measurements of plankton diversity...
The purpose of this chapter is to survey classical and modern measurement techniques used in rotating flow experiments. Since the measurement of rotating flows is now a broad and rapidly developing art, it is clear that only a summary of the essential fe
Answer to: Compare the direction of Ekman transport in the subtropical gyres of the Northern Hemisphere versus the Southern Hemisphere. Explain the...
In terms of the annual cycle, the SST in the focus region is subject to a weak meridional gradient of around 1 K across the 7 degrees of latitude during the boreal winter/spring when the main warm pool migrates south of the equator and the southern Pacific convergence zone strengthens, whi...
The most famous whirlpool is of course theOld Sow Whirlpool, located in the Passamaquoddy Bay towards the mouth of the Bay of Fundy. Old Sow is the largest whirlpool in the western hemisphere, and the second largest in the world! In broad overview, the amazing Fundy tides can be considered...
What is the spatial distribution of detected eddies in the southern subpolar North Atlantic, and what are their properties? What is the surface temperature flux carried by eddies across 47°N? Is there a notable contribution of certain eddies to the temperature flux carried by all eddies across...
Deep-sea sediments have attracted much attention as a promising resource for rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY). In this study, we show statistically independent components characterising REY-enrichment in the abyssal ocean that are decoded by Indepen
(i.e., both a direct one owing to the sediment load and one induced on the planktonic flora by the nutri-ent load), from the Danube delta in particular, on the Black Sea surface colour field can be readily eval-uated. The features traced by high pigments along the southern coast ...
