The Atlantic is quite narrow, therefore one would expect an increase in vertical flow due to the more vertically skewed aspect ratio of Atlantic basin vs Pacific basin. (judithcurry.com)
According to Hassanzadeh, the same vertical flow could explain why oceanic vortices, such as those formed near the Straits of Gibraltar, can last for years in the Atlantic Ocean. (sciencedaily.com)
It is a paper based vertical flow microarray assay that could find use in future point of care affinity proteomic applications, for instance in the fields of autoimmunity, allergy, infection or cancer diagnostics. (scilifelab.se)
