CHAPTER 31 OCEAN CURRENTS TYPES AND CAUSES OF CURRENTS 3100. Definitions The movement of ocean water is one of the two principal sources of discrepancy between dead reckoned and actual positions of vessels. Water in motion is called a current; the direction toward which it moves is called set‚ and its speed is called drift. Modern shipping speeds have lessened the impact of currents on a typical voyage‚ and since electronic navigation allows continuous adjustment of course‚ there is less need to

The Leeuwin Current is a tropical current‚ consisting of warm‚ low salinity water that affects Western Australia’s coastal waters and wildlife. Currents are part of a large sub circular current system called a gyre. The currents in the Southern hemisphere gyres circulate in an anti-clockwise direction (Skinner‚ Porter & Botkin‚ 1999‚ p.249).

Current Balance PHY 114 10/29/2013 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to understand the current balance‚ current balance is an apparatus that allows measurement of the small force between two current carrying conductors. It consists of two parallel horizontal bars‚ which are connected in series. The current flows in opposite directions in the two conductors so there is a repulsive force between them‚ by Newton’s third law there are equal and opposite forces on both wires. In the

The main force influencing global climate is the solar energy of the fun. Because the earth is a sphere its surface is not heated equally by incoming solar energy. The equatorial areas receive more sunlight while the poles receive less because sunlight strikes at an oblique angle so much of the sunlight are reflected away
