It's an ocean with waves and currents.

This system of ocean currents forms the North Atlantic Gyre.

Ocean currents are also very important in the dispersal of many life forms.

They emerged at the crossroads of four ocean currents sweeping in from all corners of the Pacific

Ocean currents, for example, are thought to make complete cycles ranging from four to around sixteen centuries.

Deep water circulation is controlled primarily by inflows from the Atlantic Ocean, the Red Sea, and Antarctic currents.

These underwater structures convert a portion of the ocean currents through turbines to generate clean sources of power.

This enables her to easily ride through the air currents as if she's sliding along on the ocean waves.

Each is also carried into a slightly different mix of ocean currents and so gets a slightly different climate

Currents.

The sea ice is affected by wind and ocean currents which can move and rotate very large areas of ice.

Ocean currents are measured in sverdrup (sv), where 1 sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of per second.

And we're interested in how these animals are using the currents, using temperature, using the open ocean, to live their lives.

Global warming due to the enhanced greenhouse effect may also cause shifts in the patterns of upper atmospheric winds and ocean currents.

Fascinating subject, currents.

By shutting down the flow of water between the two oceans, the land bridge rerouted ocean currents in both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

CURRENTS AND WHALlNG. U.S. EX.

Literally scrambling through what's called pressure ice the ice had been smashed up under the pressure of the currents of the ocean, the wind and the tides.

We seek to reverse destabilizing currents.

The currents down there are fierce.

In wind driven currents, the Ekman spiral effect results in the currents flowing at an angle to the driving winds.

Water columns are used chiefly for environmental studies evaluating the stratification or mixing (e.g., by wind induced currents) of the thermal or chemically stratified layers in a lake, stream or ocean.

It's susceptible to motion by the air currents.

I hope there's no fancy currents down there.

Once an iceberg breaks away from the glacier or ice shelf, it will usually live for three to six years, floating around, carried by the currents and tidal movements of the ocean.

YR And also the currents are quite funny there.

The only magnetism comes from electric charges and currents.

Information requirements that are being met by satellites include surface temperature, ocean currents and circulation, coastal dynamics, sediment transport, erosion, shoaling, surface winds, wave height and direction, and sea ice and its dynamics.

One of the consequences of that development for ocean ecosystems could be the partial or complete shutdown of global thermohaline circulation, predicted by several global circulation models.117 This would alter the currents, oxygenation and temperature of the deep ocean, as well as the productivity of near surface waters.

Rafting has since been the most accepted explanation for the lemur colonization of Madagascar, but until recently this trip was thought to be very unlikely because strong ocean currents flow away from the island.

Changes in these patterns of winds and ocean currents might thus alter the frequency, severity and duration of extreme weather events including regional episodes of hurricanes, typhoons, storm surges, hot spells, cold snaps and severe windstorms.

During the winter monsoon, however, currents in the north are reversed.

What we don't know is the exact, precise, immediate impact of these changes on natural climate patterns winds, ocean currents, precipitation rates, cloud formation, things that bear on the health and well being of billions of people.

These arise from electric currents along field lines ( field aligned currents ), generated by a dynamo mechanism due to the relative motion between the rotating planet and the moving moon.

We are discussing positively the enlargement of the Council. This will be complex, as our debate already makes clear, because there are many currents and cross currents of view.

In Iraq, free elections have revealed the enormous influence of Islamist currents.

and zoom in closely enough, we will always find minute, undesired currents.

175 Commonwealth Currents, Commonwealth Secretariat, London, December 1992 January 1993 issue, p. 4.

Its waters boil, and its quiet currents twist in new and devious ways.

Ocean.

All the currents deposit the marine plants and refuse they carry into this sea.

This interplay of warm and cold currents generates an extraordinary diversity of marine life

So it can actually hold itself in very strong currents, as you see here.
