A gyre is a large system of rotating ocean currents filling an ocean basin. A subtropical gyre lies between the trade winds and the westerlies and turns clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and anticlockwise in the Southern. A subpolar gyre lies on the poleward side of the westerlies and turns the other way.
