Warm Ring Inertial Circle Layer Experiment (WRINCLE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The Warm Ring Inertial Circle Layer Experiment took place in March 1990 in the northwest Atlantic between 37–45° N and 75–60° W. The goal of the experiment was to investigate the ...
East Wind Drift
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The westward flowing current close to the Antarctic continent driven by the polar easterlies.
