Jul 1, 2025 · At the surface and beneath, currents, gyres and eddies physically shape the coasts and ocean bottom, and transport and mix energy, chemicals, within and among ocean basins.

May 8, 2023 · The Beaufort Gyre “has transitioned to a quasi-stable state in which the increase in sea surface height of the gyre has slowed and the freshwater content has plateaued.

An important feature of Beaufort Gyre is the low salinity lens that has formed at the surface due to the anticyclonic (clockwise) wind stress on the ocean that drives convergent surface water flow and in …

Illustrated roadmap of global ocean circulation, with temperature and flow shown as highways connecting gyre "roundabouts" across the world's oceans.

Aug 25, 2022 · The gyre is a massive clockwise ocean circulation pattern in the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska. The currents swirl around as if contained in a bowl about 1000 kilometers across, she says. …

Jul 19, 2016 · The gyre encircles a huge reservoir of sea ice and fresh water that drains into the region from many big northern rivers and the Bering Strait. The gyre corrals this pool of ice and fresh water, …

Dec 1, 1996 · Estimates of flow speeds in the subpolar gyre suggest a transit time of about a decade for a parcel of water that enters the transformation pipeline east of Newfoundland with a temperature of …

Apr 1, 1997 · Gyre was transferred to the state of Texas and remains in service. The fate of Moana Wave is pending, but it will probably be replaced by another AGOR currently in the design stages. …

Apr 28, 2023 · One of the most recent oscillations to be described, the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO) affects the height of the sea surface in the Northeast Pacific. This, in turn, affects the …

The freshwater content of the Arctic Ocean has increased dramatically in the last two decades, particularly in the Beaufort Gyre. However, quantifying the sources of this change is an observational …
