Sentences with phrase «gyres spin»

Winds and great ocean gyres spin up in negative phases of the polar annual modes.

Ocean gyres spin up on the surface through winds and planetary rotation.

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

When the tropical easterly trade winds strengthen, as they have from the year 2000 onwards, this whole wind - driven ocean circulation becomes more vigorous, the South Pacific subtropical gyre spins up, and the western arm of the gyre exports more tropical water through the Indonesian archipelago into the Indian Ocean.

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.

Not exact matches

But as a lesson in how to spin, gyre and gimble The Brillig Blogger is indeed a nonpareil and could have a great future in political speech - writing if the «supporting» authors in self - publishing venture follows literary agent - gatekeeping for traditional publishers down the rabbit hole.

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.

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.

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.

However the negative NAO also implies a spin - down of the subtropical gyre and therefore a drop in the pole - ward transport of warm tropical waters.

In both hemisheres cold polar winds and storms pushing into lower latitudes are spinning up the oceanic gyres and increasing deep ocean upwelling in the eastern and central Pacific in the self reinforcing pattern of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation.

The South Atlantic subtropical gyre seems still to be in a spun - up state.

A near - coherent spin - up of all five subtropical ocean gyres was observed from the early / mid 1990's through to about 2004, when a peak was reached.

Stronger easterly trade and midlatitude westerly winds spin up the subtropical ocean gyres.

Some of the warm water would be subducted by Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation / Thermohaline Circulation, some would be carried by ocean currents into the Arctic Ocean where it would melt sea ice, and the remainder would be spun southward by the North Atlantic gyre toward the tropics so it could be warmed more by the effects of the slower - than - normal trade winds.

What fits is UV modulation of SAM and spin up of the lower latitude gyres.

But see my post above about the spinning up if the gyres, as it is a another way that warm water is brought to depth in the Pacific and it fluctuates with ENSO and PDO frequencies.

Stronger easterlies in the Pacific spin up the gyres in both hemispheres and Ekman pumping in those regions intensifies, bringing warmer surface waters to depth.

What fits is top down solar modulation of the SAM spinning up the lower latitude gyres.

These changes in low solar activity push polar storms into lower latitudes and spin up ocean gyres.

Winds and storms pushing into lower latitudes spin up the gyres pushing cold polar water into the Californian and Peruvian currents facilitating deep ocean upwelling.

The cool phase starts with upwelling which starts with flows in the Peruvian and Californian Currents spinning up with the Pacific gyres.

More salt is La Niña as wind and currents spin up gyres and upwelling increases...

Low solar activity spins up the great ocean gyres producing more frequent La Niña and a cooler northeastern Pacific (more upwelling)-- and vice versa.

ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) variability is linked to the spinning up or down of the South Pacific gyre — as it brings more or less cold Southern Ocean water northward — along the Peruvian coast — to more or less... Continue reading →

Low solar activity spins up the north and south Pacific gyres on decadal and much longer timescales.

ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) variability is linked to the spinning up or down of the South Pacific gyre — as it brings more or less cold Southern Ocean water northward — along the Peruvian coast — to more or less displace warm surface water and initiate upwelling.

A negative SAM spins up the South Pacific gyre transporting cold Southern Ocean water north and facilitating upwelling on the Peruvian coast.

During times when the Beaufort gyre dominates, ice spins in place and accumulates.

This spins up sub-polar gyres pushing cold water into the Californian and Peruvian Currents — diluting warm surface water and biasing the system to more upwelling.

UV modulation of the polar annular modes — in the Hale cycle — spinning up sub-polar gyres has been suggested.

Counter currents and gyres created by bottom features such as the Pourtalès Terrace in the Florida Current and the Charleston Bump in the Gulf Stream help retain the pelagic larvae within the area of the Florida Keys and SAB, respectively, by causing persistent gyres and eddies that spin off the current and retain their pelagic flora and fauna, some of which recruit to benthic and pelagic habitats in the region.

Growing where the currents of the ocean meet in a spinning swirl, the Pacific Gyre Garbage Patch is a soup of trash that has floated from all corners of the globe.
