Ocean current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (393 words) |
 | Surface ocean currents are generally wind driven and develop their typical clockwise spirals in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere due to the imposed wind stresses. |
| The areas of surface ocean currents move somewhat with the seasons, this is most notable in equatorial currents. |
| These currents that flow under the surface of the ocean, and are thus hidden from immediate detection, are called submarine rivers. |
