Role of gyration in the oceanic general circulation: Atlantic Ocean
Open accessAbstract
Wind‐driven gyres transport volume and heat in the meridional direction, which is an important component of the climate system. The contribution of wind‐driven gyres to both poleward volume and heat fluxes can be clearly identified from numerical models by a simple diagnostic tool; thus the central location, strength, and dynamical roles of wind‐driven circulation in the climatological mean state and decadal variability of the oceanic circulation can be examined in detail. This diagnostic tool was applied to the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation data generated from a numerical model, with data assimilation. Our analysis indicates the important contribution due to wind‐driven gyres and the strong decadal variability in the volume flux, heat flux, and central location of the wind‐driven gyres in the Atlantic Ocean.

The tropical upwelling system forces a cyclonic gyre circulation, the Guinea Gyre, of which the Guinea Dome and coastal West-African upwellings form the most eastern features.
“Considered from a basin-scale perspective, this system forces a cyclonic gyre circulation, the Guinea Gyre [e.g., 6], of which the Guinea Dome and the coastal West-African upwellings form the most eastern features [4,7].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
