The Mozambique Current is an ocean current in the Indian Ocean , usually defined as warm surface waters flowing south along the African east coast in the Mozambique Channel, between Mozambique and the island of Madagascar . The classical definition of the Mozambique Current is that it is a strong, steady, western boundary current . Modern research has challenged that assumption, and indicates that rather than a strong western boundary current, there are often a series of large anti cyclonic eddies in the channel. Direct evidence for these eddies has been found in satellite altimetry data ref name Schouten Schouten, M., W. de Ruijter, P. van Leeuwen, and R.

About an atmospheric effect the effect in nuclear magnetic resonance Chemical shift Factors causing chemical shifts A ring current is an electric current carried by charged particles trapped in a planet s magnetosphere . It is caused by the longitudinal drift of energetic 10&ndash 200 k electron volt eV particles. Earth s ring current File Currents.jpg thumb right 300px Schematic view of the different current systems which shape the Earth s magnetosphere . Earth s ring current is responsible for shielding the lower latitudes of the Earth from magnetospheric electric fields. It therefore has a large effect on the electrodynamics of geomagnetic storm s. The ring current system consists of a band, at a distance of 3 to 5 Earth radius R sub E sub , ref cite book title Introduction to Geomagnetically Trapped Radiation author Martin Walt year 1994 ref which lies in the celestial sphere equatorial plane and circulates clockwise around the Earth when viewed from the north . The particles of this region produce a magnetic field in opposition to the Earth s magnetic field and so an Earthly observer would observe a decrease in the magnetic field in this area. The ring current energy is mainly carried around by the ions, most of which are protons. However, one also sees alpha particles in the ring current, a type of ion that is plentiful in the solar wind. In addition, a certain percentage are O sup sup oxygen ions, similar to those in the ionosphere of Earth, though much more energetic. This mixture of ions suggests that ring current particles probably come from more than one source. The ring current and geomagnetic storms During a geomagnetic storm , the number of particles in the ring current will increase. As a result there is a decrease in the effects of Earth s magnetic field geomagnetic field .

The Benguela Current IPAc en icon b w e l is the broad, northward flowing ocean current that forms the eastern portion of the South Atlantic Ocean gyre . The current extends from roughly Cape Point in the south, to the position of the Angola Benguela Front in the north, at around 16 S. The current is driven by the prevailing South Easterly Trade winds. Inshore of the Benguela Current proper, the south easterly winds drive coastal upwelling , forming the Benguela Upwelling System. The cold, nutrient rich waters that upwell from around 200 300 m depth in turn fuel high rates of phytoplankton growth, and sustain the productive Benguela ecosystem. Boundaries Source waters for the Benguela include Indian and South Atlantic subtropical thermocline water saline, low oxygen tropical Atlantic water and cooler, fresher deep water.

File North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone.jpg thumb right The main ocean currents involved with the North Pacific Gyre Boundary currents are ocean current s with dynamics determined by the presence of a coast line, and fall into two distinct categories western boundary currents and eastern boundary currents . Eastern boundary currents Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad and slow flowing. They are found on the eastern side of oceanic basin s adjacent to the western coasts of continents . Subtropical eastern boundary currents flow equatorward, transporting cold water from higher latitudes to lower latitudes examples include the Benguela Current , the Canary Current , the Peru Current , and the California Current . Coastal upwelling often brings nutrient rich water into eastern boundary current regions, making them productive areas of the ocean. Western boundary currents File Currents.svg thumb right The world s largest ocean gyres Western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification .
