surface current

Surface currents make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean.

He had even named the phenomenon of the near- surface currents.

However, during the spring flood, there is a constant surface current from south to north.

Surface currents generally move outward from the center of the system.

But it's a surface current - there may be other currents lower down, going in different directions.

The movement of surface currents pushed by the wind is fairly intuitive.

The surface currents, however, ran even more strongly in the opposite di-rection.

One of the prime causes particularly of surface currents, is wind.

Driving surface currents is the wind patterns associated with these circulation cells.

The average surface currents on both sides of the grid are .

The pilot charts only have the surface currents,' said Geordie.

Thus the paths taken by the surface currents are only roughly similar to those of the prevailing winds.

The dual frequency radar is suitable for the measurement of surface current.

Rather, the group seemed to float along the city's surface currents, dipping toes in here and there, then moving on.

Although winds are variable, in any one place they predominantly blow from a single direction and thus a surface current can be formed.

Surface currents make up about ten percent of the water in the ocean, and are generally restricted to the upper 400 meters.

"Their migration moves north, then south, tending to follow the surface currents.

The prevailing wind, and surface current, both came from the east- the surf was slightly heavier on the eastern side of the Rocks.

The appearance of surface currents (which we have previously denoted by K).

The surface currents are initially dictated by surface wind conditions.

Conversely, warm surface currents from tropical seas increases mean temperatures.

She saw him looking, "I'm tracing surface currents," she said.

Such data includes that about coastal morphology, surface currents and wave parameters.

An entirely different class of subsurface current is caused by friction with surface currents and objects.

Besides gyres, there are temporary surface currents that occur under specific conditions.
