Western boundary currents (WBCs) represent the western limb of ocean subtropical gyres and are an important component of the Earth’s climate system as they redistribute equatorial heat excess to mid- and high latitudes (Colling, 2001; Imawaki et al., 2013). The main WBCs include the Gulf ...
The winds push the ocean beneath them into the same rotating gyres. 流动的大气推动其下的海水形成了同样的流涡。 And because water holds onto heat more effectively than air, 因为水比大气更容易吸收热量, these currents help redistribute warmth around the globe. 所以洋流促进了热量在全球范围内的流动。
Oceanic eddies and gyres are also found to contribute to the net exchange of heat and salt in the Arctic (von Appen et al., 2016; Hattermann et al., 2016). Boeke and Taylor (2018) found the inter-model spread in simulating Arctic amplification originated from the regional scales and ...
The winds push the ocean beneath them into the same rotating gyres. And because water holds onto heat more effectively than air, these currents help redistribute warmth around the globe. Unlike surface currents, deep ocean currents are driven primarily by changes in the density of seawater. As ...
