About New Maps of Surface Currents of the World Ocean

Аннотация

Using the example of the surface currents map сonstructed for the Northern Atlantic on the basis of data of modern observations by means of drifting buoys, it is shown that the previously published maps of ocean surface currents, based on ship drift data, have become outdated and require an update. The influence of the bottom relief on the directions of surface layer currents is shown.
