Atlantic Ocean - Climate, Currents, Winds: Weather over the North Atlantic is largely determined by large-scale wind currents and air masses emanating from North America. Near Iceland, atmospheric pressure tends to be low, and air flows in a counterclock
Another factor that affects air currents is air pressure. The higher the difference in air pressure between two areas, the stronger the winds will be. This happens because high pressure air has a tendency to move towards areas of lower pressure. Low pressured air also holds less heat than hig...
Argues that learning about winds and ocean currents will help students understand the achievements of explorers in history in light of physical elements and technologies of their time. Presents a three-day lesson for teaching secondary geography units on locations and regions of winds and currents, ...
The idea that only after 1490 the European sailors had 'come for the first time in recorded history to struggle with the limitations placed on sailing ships by the winds and currents of the open ocean' does not correspond to reality. There is enough proof to show that much earlier, in the...
Oceanic tides lead to some of the largest currents of the world ocean and have important implications for oceanic circulation. In the last decade, the feedback effect of surface currents on the overlying winds has been shown to strongly regulate the ocean circulation. Here we present evidence, ...
Ocean currents refer to the mass flow of water driven by winds, transferring heat, influencing weather and climate, distributing nutrients, and dispersing marine organisms in the oceans. They are a form of kinetic energy that plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and have the pote...
根据第一段“Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way——by studying movements of random floating garbage.(今天的科学家们正努力研究洋流。
Further medieval Arabic documents are referred to on the history of knowledge of seasonally reversing surface currents, semidiurnal tides and winds in the North Indian Ocean and also in the South Indian Ocean. A "theory" of tides based on the lunar cycle was described by Ibn Khordazbeh (846)...
Iceis formed in the extreme south during the Antarctic winter. Between January and February the melting ice along the Antarctic coast is broken up by severe storms and, in the form of large blocks and broad floes, is carried away by wind and currents to the open ocean. In some coastal ar...
