1 Aug 1980 | | Journal: | Science, 209 (4456), 588-590 | | Abstract: | The transition of the Somali Current from northeast monsoon conditions to southwest monsoon conditions was observed from April through August 1979. The northeastward flow associated with the Somali Current of the southwest monsoon progressed from the equator in April to 4 degrees N in August. The separation of the current from the coast, as observed at the northern boundary of the northeastward flow, did not intrude north continuously, but rather in distinct steps. South of 4 degrees N, the circulation was characterized by the incorporation of increasing amounts of somewhat more saline water from the south and east into the boundary current. A clockwise gyre with northeastward flow along the coast developed between 6 degrees and 10 degrees N during June. | | Source: | PubMed, pmid17756837 doi: 10.1126/science.209.4456.588-a | | Services: | Forum | Review | Favorites | |
