| So in other words, concentrations of sea birds may start at the edge of one of these gyres. |
| The gyre we planned to survey is one of the largest ocean realms on Earth, and one of five major subtropical gyres on the planet. |
| During icehouse periods the distribution of continents inhibited circum-equatorial circulation forcing faster oceanic circulation in the main ocean gyres. |
| Unlike the Beaufort Gyre in the Arctic Ocean, these gyres do not appear to recirculate ice. |
| But, icky, snotty clumps of algae have been seen dancing in the eddies and gyres around the ship. |
| The ocean currents, called gyres, are swirled around by the earth's rotation and crimped by its land masses. This is uncontroversial. |
