Ekman transport may be confined to the surface layers, but when the circulation spins up, the greater rotational speed of the gyre increases the rigidity of the Taylor column at its centre.

To get a glimpse of what was going on in the dark, the researchers looked at samples from two subtropical gyres, or systems of rotating ocean currents, in the South Atlantic and North Pacific.

Increased winds in the tropics and mid latitudes can «spin up» the mid-ocean gyres, increasing the rate at which water gets pumped down to mid depths through Ekman pumping, taking heat from the surface with it.

In 2014, international scientists collaborated with 5 Gyres to publish the first Global Estimate of Marine Plastic Pollution, and determined that 5.25 trillion particles of «plastic smog» surface pollution — weighing in at 269,000 tons — pollute our oceans worldwide.

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).

Because gyres are systems of circulating currents, they result in marine debris accumulation at their centers.

The gyres spin up with negative polar annular modes — high pressure at the poles push circumpolar wind and storms into lower latitudes.

AB 888 will eliminate a significant contributor of plastic pollution at the source, before it ever has a chance to reach the oceans,» said Anna Cummins, Executive Director of the 5 Gyres Institute.

It's a region of the North Pacific ocean where the northern jet stream and the southern trade winds, moving opposite directions, create a vast, gently circling region of water called the North Pacific Gyre — and at its center, there are tons of plastic garbage.

2) That when it is mechanically forced by your gyres to a lower stratum, which is above water at T3, it displaces the water at that stratum upward, which is at some T2, < T1 but > T3.

Note that there is also poleward transport in the shallow currents at the western edge of each subtropical ocean gyre - known as western boundary currents.

The future evolution of ENSO will be determined by the strength of the South Pacific gyre — that in turn is driven by surface pressure at the South Pole and resultant changes in circumpolar westerly winds.

As the North Atlantic subtropical gyre spun - up in response to the trade wind - forcing, the gulfstream, the powerful ribbon - like western boundary current travelling north along the North American coast at the edge of the gyre, intensified.

These range from few years (Beaufort gyre 4 years, Circumpolar current 8 years, Indian ocean gyre 10 years, N. Atlantic subpolar gyre 20 years etc.) up to above 100 years for some of the Pacific gyres, and finally the great ocean conveyor belt estimated at ~ 1600 years.

BTW GFS and ECMWF show an important Gyre anticyclone for at least until the 15th to 19th of May.

Coastal and equatorial upwelling bring an enormous amount of DIC to the surface, with subsequent transport to the gyres of the open ocean, causing declines in open ocean surface pH at rates that are much faster than possibly attributed to atmospheric diffusion.

The accumulation zones of plastic that form in the five subtropical gyres are a result of the diminished winds and currents occurring at latitudes synonymous with continental deserts.

The outgoing flow through Fram Strait carries with it large volumes of fresh water as fragmented pack ice, a flow that is strongly episodic at decadal scale and is associated with the series of so called Great Salinity Anomalies observed within the circulation of the subarctic gyre and in the Nordic seas that were discussed in the previous chapter.

The research team, including the authors of the study, Peter Davison and Rebecca Asch, traveled across hundreds of miles of the North Pacific ocean gyre, collecting fish specimens, water samples and marine debris at depths ranging from the surface to thousands of feet under.

So a gyre can create a downwelling at its centre.

Our friends at 5 Gyres are also bringing awareness to the link between climate change and plastic pollution on their new page!

Any circular water flow will tend to push water in towards it's center - sea levels are higher at the centre of the gyres as a result.

The boats can be retrofitted to deal with any environmental disaster at sea where it's difficult or dangerous to send human workers: The original vision — pre-Deepwater — was for the boats to head the Pacific Gyre and pick up trash in nets, because it seems that no human is ever going to lift a finger to clean it up.

Among the crew members is Garen Baghdasarian, a professor of Marine Biology at Santa Monica College who's received a PhD in Biology studying coral bleaching who's collaborating with 5 Gyres carrying out a study to find out if there's a relationship between plastic pollution and the decrease in the levels of phytoplankton in the ocean.

When a gyre region is added to the channel, vertical diffusion in the gyre exerts some control on the channel stratification even at higher winds, forcing the mass balance into a mixed regime in which both eddy and diffusive effects are important.
