The deep varieties of these are driven by temperature gradients and density.
The deep varieties of these are driven by temperature gradients and density. The thermohaline type is currently being investigated by a series of underwater robots called Argo, and is caused by a cycle of upwellings and downwellings. Southerly trade winds cause upwellings in the Humboldt one of these, and Taylor caps occur at the surface of the ocean because of the rotating types of these. The Sverdrup measure for magnitude of these is proportional to the curl of wind stress. The OSCAR data set is often used to evaluate the surface type of these. Identify these movements of ocean water, exemplified by the Gulf Stream .
