| 1. | Sand discharged from this river is transported northward by the prevailing coastal currents.
|
| 2. | They need substantial water microturbulence, generally provided by wave action or coastal currents.
|
| 3. | Hence, the impact of the Norwegian Coastal Current on climate change is relatively small.
|
| 4. | It is formed on the lee side of the coastal current by Point Reyes.
|
| 5. | During the winter season, the northeast monsoon reverses the northward Somali Coastal Current, shutting down coastal upwelling.
|
| 6. | However, the surface layer current running through the strait, the New Guinea Coastal Current, experiences a seasonal reversal.
|
| 7. | This is due primarily to upwelling and strong cold coastal currents that reduce water temperatures in these areas.
|
| 8. | We know that they form as coastal currents transport sand flushed from river mouths and deposit it along the shore.
|
| 9. | Coastal currents here flow northward, exposing the unprotected southern flank of the new beach to eroding currents from the south.
|
| 10. | As the Norwegian Coastal Current moves northward, North Atlantic Drift Water is mixed in, raising the salinity ( see Salinity below ).
