This is to be expected because the spin - up of the wind - driven ocean circulation speeds up the currents (Ekman transport) which carry heat out of the tropics in the near - surface layers toward the subtropical ocean gyres.

After I read the Hatun et al paper I thought the major point of the paper was that ocean circulation and the subpolar gyre is an important but little understood factor in the THC and more research in the area was needed.

Hatun et al. examined the possibilities that [i] a change in rain falling over the ocean (freshens the water) and evaporation (increases the salinity by removing water and leaving salt behind), [ii] increased salinity in the sub-tropical gyre (in the main part of the North Atlantic), [iii] increased salinity in the sub-polar gyre, or [iv] dynamical changes in the relative contributions from the two gyres could explain the high salinities in the in - flow regions.

Many of the surface currents of the world oceans (i.e., the ocean «gyres» which appear as rotating horizontal current systems in the upper ocean) are driven by the wind, however, the sinking in the Arctic is related to the buoyancy forcing (effects that change either the temperature or salinity of the water, and hence its buoyancy).

Even though these findings suggest that the South Pacific has not escaped the impact of marine plastic pollution, the fact that we're still finding small amounts of this petrol based material and not seeing so much debris floating around is also indicating that this part of the ocean may be in fact different from others explored by 5 Gyres.

and how about nasa's recent report of the apparent arctic ocean gyre reversal to clockwise that is underway — that the counterclockwise gyre of the arctic ocean rotation (since 1989) which apparently also been largely responsible for centrifigally pushing arctic ice into warmer waters, speeding melting — should now predictably result in increasing amounts of ice due to the centripetal pull of the ice toward the north pole?
