Sentences with phrase «gyre does»

Although there's no information on what we're going to find in this gyre, there are some variables that make this one different from the previous ones 5 Gyres did through the North Pacific, North Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and South Atlantic.

Not exact matches

What 5 Gyres researchers are currently investigating, however, is whether surface - feeding fish are ingesting plastic — and if so, what that does to them.

Their work, published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, did find millions of pieces of plastic debris floating in five large subtropical gyres in the world's oceans.

If read as an ideological tract, The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue could refer to the expanding gyre that separates distinct concepts of «authenticity» — hence the detective story in this ersatz Night of the Living Dead (commissioned to do a straight ripper of the Romero classic — which was completely without a detective figure — Grau inserts an element of Tiresian knowledge) that underscores the futility of investigation into areas that, by their nature, resist clarification.

Not only does it illustrate the plastic pollution throughout the oceans, it is an interactive that allows you to see exactly how much pollution is found in specific gyres across the globe.

So, firstly, their findings don't support your speculation that changes in the wind - driven subtropical gyre might explain the observed tropical Atlantic SST warming.

Thus, the subtropical gyre circulation is a horizontal circulation with poleward mass transport along the western boundary, and equatorward transport everywhere east of that, and providing no net northward mass transport integrated across the basin (which is what Bryden et al have done).

Gray doesn't refer to the wind - driven gyre circulation in his comments, he specifically refers to the thermohaline circulation.

It's clear that THC does» nt drive the entire GS (I never said it), there are, as Gavin said it, loops and gyres which have a great participation in the heat transfer.

5 Gyres supports the federal ban and that it doesn't contain the bioplastic loophole.

And I do think there are a number of questions about interpretation of observations, and the details of the climate model experiment (the very large exponentially increasing freshwater fluxes, the low - resolution of the ocean which obscures the potentially important role of wind - driven ocean gyres, etc.).

this doesn't in itself discredit the AGW model, but it certainly should put a damper on the most recent gyre of hysteria vis - a-vis the recently rapidly melting arctic icecap.

Although one may think that's a good thing, it doesn't really mean that the South Pacific is cleaner but that the currents in this part of the ocean create a tighter gyre and thus the garbage may be more concentrated.

A study called Floating marine debris surface drift: Convergence and accumulation toward the South Pacific subtropical gyre [PDF] also suggests that this gyre is a closed loop, and that the garbage that enters it doesn't leave, which could be the cause of not seeing so much debris floating.

5 Gyres also did a study on compostable plastics, that you can read about here.

Thus, while it may be possible to attribute the warming subsurface to a change in the NA gyre circulation to a shift in the NAO, to what do we attribute the shift in the NAO?

Two reasons why this should be so in the real world are that, first, the Southern Hemisphere subtropical gyres are situated mostly in the Southern Ocean and South Atlantic, and second, that some of the heat coming into the Pacific Ocean basin doesn't actually stay there.

Rather, while the ocean may be doing something to the surface energy budget in parts of the subpolar gyre in coupled models, its effect on the AMO is small compared to the stochastic atmospheric forcing.

My bet is that the hiatus is ended, mainly on the basis that it's a lot to do with variations in the ocean draw down of warmer surface water after a pacific gyre spinup circa 1995 and its subsequent working out.

But that doesn't mean that the output of trash is the same,» says Marcus Eriksen, co-founder of the 5 Gyres Institute.
