| Warm surface water is carried from the low latitudes to the higher polar latitudes as a surface current. |
|
| Forty minutes later we make a crash dive, regrouping at 15m below the surface current that whips across the reef-top. |
|
| Monsoon Current, also called Monsoon Drift, surface current of the northern Indian Ocean. |
|
| In view of the surface current, the surface slick will travel downstream a little. |
|
| A «gyre» is a surface current moving in a circle and covering a large area of ocean. |
|
| There is a rapid surface current from the Sea of Marmara to the Aegean and a compensatory undercurrent returning more saline water. |
|
| The surface current of her English life appeared smooth at times, but in the depths the tug of African sun and light never abated. |
|
| The net effect of wind-to-wave and wave-to-current momentum transfers reduces the surface current speeds. |
|
| Study reports that surface wind speeds over Lake Superior have increased, and projects that surface current speeds will increase as a result. |
|
| El Nino is a warm surface current that usually appears in the Pacific Ocean off Ecuador and Peru around Christmas, and lasts about three months. |
|
| Neither the wind nor the surface current were factors in the occurrence. |
|
| Usually a surface current of warm water flows northward in the Atlantic toward Greenland and Europe, then cools and sinks, returning south in the deep ocean. |
|
| A small amount of water also enters the Mediterranean from the Black Sea as a surface current through the Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles. |
|
| The emphasis was placed on surface current measurement up to a depth of approximately 18 feet because these currents had a direct effect on vessel movement. |
|
| Note that it is possible to move and if necessary contain a slick using a fire hose with a solid jet, avoiding direct contact with the pollutant but rather creating a small surface current with the hose. |
|
| A wind blowing over a body of water exerts a horizontal force on the water surface and induces a surface current in the general direction of the wind. |
|
| There is a surface current inwards in the eastern channel, but a strong undercurrent outwards in the western channel. |
|
| After the anchor was aweigh, the vessel was subject to the surface current which was setting at a rate of about 30 metres per minute towards the shore. |
|
| The first method, called «objective analysis» consisted of calculating the surface current field by linear combination of the observed velocities of the drifting buoys. |
|
| With the surface current field estimated several times a day, the reverse drift calculations for various bodies and airplane parts were undertaken. |
|
|
|
| The Pacific NECC is the major eastward moving surface current that transports more than 20 Sv from the West Pacific warm pool to the cooler East Pacific. |
|
| This current is gradually more salty towards the coast and right under the surface current there is a reverse current of saltier water from the coast. |
|
| Surface current velocity was measured in three areas by recording the time taken for a bobber to travel 1 meter. |
