The surface currents of the Indian Ocean also have a monsoonal regime associated with the Asian Monsoonal wind regime.
22.
That means heavy south winds, which set up a near-shore surface current in this area called the Davidson Current.
23.
Downwelling occurs in areas such as in the subpolar gyre of the North Atlantic where several surface currents meet.
24.
There is a surface current inwards in the eastern channel, but a strong undercurrent outwards in the western channel.
25.
The mechanism for this cooling is explained by the influence of the Papagayo winds on the ocean surface currents.
26.
It is a major misconception that salmon swim thousands of kilometers at sea; instead they surf through sea surface currents.
27.
This radar also uses the dual frequency technique ( see below ) to perform point measurements of the surface current vector
28.
Seattle oceanographers Curtis Ebbesmeyer and James Ingraham, who were working on an ocean surface current model, began to track their progress.
29.
If the meridional overturning circulation in the North Atlantic stopped it would significantly alter the intensity and orientation of surface currents.
30.
The Falkland Current is not a surface current like the Brazil Current but it extends all the way to the sea-floor.
