又称: ocean current · gyre

Definition 26.5 Primary & Middle School Earth and Space Sciences · 第 26 章 — The Oceans

An ocean current is a steady movement of sea water in one direction, like a river in the ocean. A gyre is a very large loop of ocean currents that turns round an ocean basin.

The five great gyres, simplified: clockwise in the northern hemisphere, anticlockwise in the southern. Red: warm currents, coming from the tropics; blue: cold currents, coming from higher latitudes. The North Atlantic gyre is edged by the Gulf Stream on the west and the Canary Current on the east.
