Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The SouthEquatorialCurrent is a significant Pacific Ocean Pacific , Atlantic Ocean Atlantic , and Indian Ocean current that flows east to west between the equator and about 20th parallel south 20 degrees south . In the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, it extends across the equator to about 5th parallel north 5 degrees north . Within the southern hemisphere, the SouthEquatorialCurrent is the westward limb of the very large scale subtropical gyres. These gyres are driven by the combination of trade winds in the tropics and westerly winds that are found south of about 30th parallel south 30 degrees south , through a rather complicated process that includes western boundary current intensification. On the equator, the SouthEquatorialCurrent is driven directly by the trade winds which blow from east to west. In the Indian Ocean, the westward flowing SouthEquatorialCurrent is well developed only south of the equator. Directly on the equator, the winds reverse twice a year due to the monsoons, and so the surface current can be either eastward or westward.

File Equatorial ring.png thumb An equatorial ring An equatorial ring was an astronomical instrument used in the Hellenistic world to determine the exact moment of the spring season spring and autumn equinoxes . Equatorial rings were placed before the temples in Alexandria , in Rhodes , and perhaps in other places, for calendar purposes. The easiest way to understand the use of an equatorial ring is to imagine a ring placed vertically in the east west plane at the Earth s equator . At the time of the equinoxes, the Sun will rise precisely in the east , move across the zenith , and set precisely in the west . Throughout the day, the bottom half of the ring will be in the shadow cast by the top half of the ring. On other days of the year, the Sun passes to the north or south of the ring, and will illuminate the bottom half. For latitudes away from the equator, the ring merely needs to be placed at the correct angle in the equatorial plane. At the Earth s Geographical pole poles , the ring would be Horizontal plane horizontal . The equatorial ring was about one to two cubits 45cm 90cm in diameter. Because the Sun is not a point source of light, the width of the shadow on the bottom half of the ring is slightly less than the width of the ring. By waiting until the shadow was centered on the ring, the time of the equinox could be fixed to within an hour or so. If the equinox happened at night , or if the sky was cloudy , an interpolation could be made between two days measurements. The main disadvantage with the equatorial ring is that it needed to be aligned very precisely or false measurements could occur. Ptolemy mentions in the Almagest that one of the equatorial rings in use in Alexandria had shifted slightly, which meant that the instrument showed the equinox occurring twice on the same day. False readings can also be produced by atmospheric refraction of the Sun when it is close to the horizon . Equatorial rings can also be found on armillary sphere s and equatorial ... more details

Image Iapetus 706 1419 1.jpg thumb right The ridge on Iapetus Image Atlas Rev09.2x.jpg thumb right The ridge on Atlas Image Pan Rev09.2x.jpg thumb right The ridge on Pan Equatorial ridges are a feature of at least three of Saturn s natural satellite moons the large moon Iapetus moon Iapetus and the tiny moons Atlas moon Atlas and Pan moon Pan . They are Ridge ridges that follow closely the moon s equator . They appear to be unique to the Saturnian system, but it is uncertain whether the occurrences are related or a coincidence. All three were discovered by the Cassini Huygens Mission Cassini probe in 2005. The ridge on Iapetus is nearly 20 km wide, 13 km high and 1,300 km long. The ridge on Atlas is proportionally even more remarkable given the moon s much smaller size, and distorts the moon s shape into an odd, Unidentified flying object UFO like appearance. Images of Pan are less clear, but show a structure similar to that of Atlas. It is not certain how these ridges formed, or whether there is any connection between them. Because Atlas and Pan orbit within the rings of Saturn , a likely explanation for their ridges is that they sweep up ring particles as they orbit, which build up around their equators. This theory is less applicable to Iapetus, which orbits far beyond the rings. One scientist has suggested that Iapetus swept up a ring before being somehow expelled to its current, distant orbit. http www.universetoday.com am publish iapetus consume saturn ring.html Others think it was stationary and it is the rings that have been pulled away from it, falling into Saturn s gravity field. Fact date September 2007 But most scientists prefer to assume that Iapetus s ridge was produced by some kind of internal source and is unrelated to the ridges on Atlas and Pan.
