Ocean current - Temperature, Wind, Salinity: 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
Figure 3. Potential (A) temperature, (B) salinity and (C) density (sigma-0) along the Greenwich meridian. Maximum westerlies in the wind occur near 55°S, which roughly coincides with the axis of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. To the south of this latitude, wind-induced northward Ekman...
whileMars and Earth have a few things in common, this isn't one of them. On Earth, the ground is constantly being recycled and made anew, and on Mars, much of the surface is exactly as it
One process is that the ocean surface current per se changes the surface relative wind speed of the wind, which changes the effective wind stress. A second process is that the sea surface temperature (SST) gradients change the stability of air-sea boundary layer and the associated wind field ...

Ocean tideshave the same frequencies as solid Earth tides, but they derive from both the vertical and (small) horizontal components of the TGP that generates water movement in shallow areas such as thecontinental shelves. This variable water depth loads the crust and modifies the amplitudes of th...
