Ocean Current. Coriolis Effect. Rip Current. Upwelling. Major Ocean Currents. An . Ocean Current. is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction.. Wind-driven currents are called surface currents.. Susan Howard. Earth & Space Research. Basically – why and how the ocean and atmosphere MOVE!. www.ametsoc.org . There are many scales of motion: . From . BIG. . to . very small. Today – I will just cover the basic large scale, GLOBAL circulation.. Ingredients of an ocean observing system. Dean . Roemmich. Co-Chair, Argo Steering . Team. Presented at the 13. th. meeting of the Argo Steering Team, Paris, March 2012. Motivation. Any major expansion of Argo (Deep Ocean, Biogeochemical, Boundary Currents, Coastal) will have most of the same basic “ingredients” as the original program.. Steven Ackleson. , Consortium for Ocean . Leadership. Data Assimilation and Modeling; . Bob . Arnone. , University of Southern . Mississippi. Modern Observatory Operations; . Collin . Roesler. , Bowdoin . . Ramesh. IPCC AR5 WG1. . - Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis. Seminar in Atmospheric Science 21. st. February, 2014. 1. Introduction. The ocean exchanges heat, freshwater, and C with the atmosphere.. How do different currents form. What is upwelling. What do ocean currents transfer. Predict. T F. Ocean currents are always cold. C. ontinents affect the direction of currents. Currents only flow near the surface of the ocean. From 100-200 m (600 ft) to the deepest part. Mesopelagic (to depth of 3300 ft -1000 m). Twilight. THE DEEP - Bathypelagic, Abyssopelagic & Hadopelagic. No sunlight at all. THE MESOPELAGIC. From 100-200 m to depth of 3300 ft (1000 m). Global Change April 20, 2015 Mr. Alvarez Global Change Global change- any chemical, biological or physical property change of the planet. Examples include cold temperatures causing ice ages. Global climate change- variability: impact of the array's geometry M We Get Our Food from the Ocean. We Do this both directly and indirectly. We eat fish that is harvested from the ocean. We also process harvested fish for livestock feed. . We get Valuable Minerals from the Ocean. Submersibles, satellites, and other technology allow scientists to study the structure and composition of the ocean floor.. a. system that uses transmitted and reflected sound waves to measure distances to the ocean floor; SONAR. A: Sunlight – Producers require sunlight for photosynthesis. Ocean life is determined by many factors:. B: Temperature – most animals live near the surface where it is warmer. Ocean life is determined by many factors:. The Vast World . Ocean. Area of Continents and Oceans. Seventy one percent (71%) of the globe is covered with oceans or seas.. Continents and islands compose the remaining twenty nine percent (29 %).. Sam Coakley. Advisor: Travis Miles, Ph.D..
