Ocean Currents Ocean currents affect the temperature by moving hot or cold water from one location to another. The Gulf Stream, for example, moves warm air from the Gulf of Mexico along the eastern coast of the U.S., and eventually to the British Isles. As the warm water travels North, ...
In the third part, wind generated wave motion in the open ocean is analyzed. The rate of growth or decay of the wave amplitude is determined by the friction velocity and the wavelength. The primary intention is to investigate the nonlinear drift currents in the ocean. The development of such...
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
The vergence chart of the ocean currents (January) shows in the region of the equatorial counter current a distribution of the vergence that is in good agreement with the scheme of the vertical circulation within the equatorial region of the Atlantic as proposed by A. Defant ....
The cause of ocean currents is ___. A. wind B. density differences C. rotation of the earth D. any combination of the above 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 D。洋流的形成是由于风、海水密度差异和地球自转等多种因素的组合。选项 A“wind”表示风;选项 B“density differences”表示海水密度差异;选项...
题目What is the main cause of ocean currents? A. Wind B. Gravity C. Magnetic fields D. Temperature differences 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 A。本题考查洋流的主要成因。选项 A,风是洋流的主要动力来源;选项 B,重力不是洋流的主要成因;选项 C,磁场对洋流的影响较小;选项 D,温度差异会引起海水密度...

Depending on the right combination of currents and wind, a large mass of Sargassum (马尾藻)“seaweed"circling the Gulf of Mexico may soon wash up along the US coast near Florida. The bloom (藻华),which is likely to be the largest ever recorded, is visible from space.Sargassum is a type...
ocean currents Inocean current: Two types of ocean circulation …define two circulation types: (1) wind-driven circulation forced by wind stress on the sea surface, inducing a momentum exchange, and (2) thermohaline circulation driven by the variations in water density imposed at the sea surface...
