These major regions of surface circulation and their associated pressure fields are related to mean meridional (north-south) circulation patterns as well (see the diagram).

The area off Southwest Iberian Peninsula (SWIP), located between temperate and subtropical waters, includes oceanic and coastal domains affected by atmospheric and ocean circulation patterns, as well as coastal processes.

The uptake of this heat is contributing to higher temperatures in the oceans, possibly impacting ocean circulation patterns as well as contributing to rising sea levels, which have increased 3.2 millimeters a year since 1993.

The saltier (and thus denser) seawater has modified circulation patterns, as evidenced by observed elevated flows from the Aegean Sea into the deeper parts of the Mediterranean.

We use this index instead of the NAO, as the AMO is strongly correlated with thermohaline and atmospheric circulation patterns [26] as well as storm activity [27], [28] in the subtropical-temperate region where Atlantic juveniles reside [17].

Forecasted large-scale changes in ocean circulation patterns are uncertain, as are consequences for multidecadal oscillations in climate, as reflected by indices such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

In many locales in coastal oceans, nitrogen has been demonstrated to be the limiting nutrient, with large-scale circulation patterns (such as upwelling) being the primary determinant of coastal productivity.

In cases where distance does not explain divergence, it has been suggested that circulation patterns, such as recirculation in a coastal fjord, may provide a sufficient barrier to gene flow, allowing populations to diverge and perhaps adapt to local conditions (Rynearson and Armbrust 2004).
