Sentence examples for ocean eddies from inspiring English sources

Observations from these altimeters provide vital information for studies of deep-ocean circulation and boundary currents, the mid-ocean gyres, tsunamis and ocean currents on synoptic to global scales, while mesoscale (approximately 100 km) ocean eddies are only marginally resolved.

But scientists and policymakers are eager to have even better models, and the U.S. Department of Energy is considering a plan to build a new, higher resolution model that could take into account features, such as ocean eddies or storms, that cover less than 100 square kilometers.

When researchers fed data about ocean currents and typical winds in the region at that time of year into a program that simulates how ocean eddies tend to disperse floating objects, they successfully tracked the pumice as it spread to afflict an area twice the size of New Zealand.

ECCO2 attempts to model the oceans and sea ice to increasingly accurate resolutions that begin to resolve ocean eddies and other narrow-current systems which transport heat and carbon in the oceans.The ECCO2 model simulates ocean flows at all depths, but only surface flows are used in this visualization.

Some notable emerging applications include monitoring sea ice, dangerous sea states, ocean eddy and storm surges.

Last week, The Guardian newspaper first reported that in July, a retrofitted fishing trawler dispersed 100 tons of iron dust in an ocean eddy about 321 kilometers west of the islands of Haida Gwaii.

In addition to the AMOC, Marshall and Zanna (2014) used a conceptual model to point out the importance of ocean eddy mixing in the Southern Ocean, with larger mixing leading to a faster (yet smaller) global heat uptake response.

Given what is known about surgeonfish larval ecology, it is likely that young yellow tang larvae were initially transported passively by ocean currents [31] and may even have been transported and entrained within the observed ocean eddy [38].

However, the existence of similar oceanic eddies in the Indian Ocean, and the question whether such eddies are typical for the ocean as a whole remained open.

The dancers are sometimes like the ocean — fluid, eddying — and sometimes, as in Cunningham's other work, like nature only in that they are wholly objective.

Because of eddies, ocean currents and winds, spilled oil formed tentacles or filaments and moved in nonlinear fashion.
