The rest floats; much of it ends up in gyres and the massive garbage patches that form there, with some plastic eventually washing up on a distant shore.

But her scenes of domestic life carry deep complexities in both form and content, tracing the artist's personal history as an immigrant, as a woman, and as an artist to create arresting depictions of intimate life: whether it's a shared quiet moment with her husband (Her Widening Gyre, 2011) or a table set for tea (Tea Time in New Haven, Enugu, 2013).

The strength of the Icelandic Low is the critical factor in determining path of the polar jet stream over the North Atlantic In the winter the IL is located at SW of Greenland (driver Subpolar Gyre), but in the summer the IL is to be found much further north (most likely driver the North Icelandic Jet, formed by complex physical interactions between warm and cold currents), which as graphs show had no major ups or downs.

The strength of the Icelandic Low is the critical factor in determining path of the polar jet stream over the North Atlantic In the winter the IL is located at SW of Greenland (Subpolar Gyre) In summer the IL is to be found much further north (most likely the North Icelandic Jet, formed by complex physical interactions between warm and cold currents) These two run under two different regimes and two clocks (see the CET synthesis from 3 harmonics, one for each summer and winter, and one common — see the above link, bottom graph).

The rest floats; much of it ends up in gyres and the massive garbage patches that form there, with some plastic eventually washing up on a distant shore.

Since phytoplankton form the base of marine food webs, the world's most productive fisheries are located in areas of coastal upwelling that bring cold nutrient rich waters to the surface (especially in the eastern boundary regions of the subtropical gyres); about half the world's total fish catch comes from upwelling zones.

The cold water region with very cold coastal waters along the Greenland and Labrador coasts form the western part of the subpolar gyre circulating anticlockwise.
