subtropical convergence

…latitude lying south of the Subtropical Convergence (at about 40° S) and north of the Antarctic Convergence (between about 50° and 60° S). The Subtropical Convergence generally defines the northern limits of a water mass having so many unique physical and biological characteristics that it is often given a separate…

…sink, giving rise to the subtropical convergence near 20°–30° latitude. The centre of the subtropical gyre is shifted to the west. This westward intensification of ocean currents was explained by the American meteorologist and oceanographer Henry M. Stommel (1948) as resulting from the fact that the horizontal Coriolis force increases…

…interest in their influence on extratropical circulation. The sensitivity of the tropospheric circulation to surface temperature in both the tropical Pacific and Atlantic oceans has been shown in both theoretical and observational studies. Figures were prepared to demonstrate the correlation between the equatorial ocean surface temperature in the eastern Pacific…
