  • Ocean Motion : Background : Wind-Driven Surface Currents- Gyres: In this section, we examine the characteristic s of wind-driven surface-ocean currents, components of the huge gyres that dominate the central regions of the open ocean. The North Pacific Gyre is a swirling vortex of water made up of four prevailing surface currents that move in a clockwise direction: the North Pacific Current, the California Current, the North Equatorial Current and the Kuroshio Current. (A map of the world?s ocean gyres is available at oceanmotion.or g/html/backgro und/wind-drive n-surface.htm. ) These currents trap and concentrate debris within the gyre. Comprising most of the northern Pacific Ocean, the North Pacific Gyre covers an area of about 10 million square miles. The large amount of debris that has accumulated in this area has given the North Pacific Gyre the nickname ?the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.?
  • Transparency: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch | GOOD: By now, most of us are aware that there is a large patch of floating plastic in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. What you may not know is that it?s not made up of plastic bags and empty bottles. It?s made up of billions of tiny pieces of plastic, and it?s basically invisible unless you?re floating in it. While this might seem better, it?s actually much worse for the environment?an d for you. Our latest Transparency is a look at the Pacific Gyre and the plastic floating in it.
