Talk:Ocean current

message: This page doesn't appear to be a stub so much as lacks a few bits of information.  Most noticeable is the cause of the ocean currents, and their applications in navigation, but otherwise, I wouldn't call it much of a stub. 4.227.20.58 (talk) 13:18, 23 December 2004 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this article include the thermohaline circulation?  I'm not an oceanographer, but it appears to be pretty important to the the oceans.  It should also have it's own heading, maybe?  Worldwide? Sword 21:57, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: The two maps appear to contradict each other on the direction of the current in the Indian Ocean north of the Equator. The first maps shows counter-clockwise and the second map shows clockwise. The main currents in the North Atlantic and North Pacific seem to be clockwise.I also think you dont have to show the same picture two times because it confuses people which we are trying to avoid.

replies: text: Hi. From what I see, :File:Corrientes-oceanicas.gif does not show the Monsoon Current as shown in :File:Ocean surface currents.jpg. While :File:Ocean surface currents.jpg does not show North Equatorial Current & Equatorial Counter Current as shown in :File:Corrientes-oceanicas.gif. I guess its not contradiction, just a mere exclusions/inclusions within the two. Hope this answers. Rehman(+) 12:48, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

text: The currents in the Indian Ocean north of 10S reverse with the monsoons so we should put in a disclaimer. Actually, I just checked again. The monsoon current has two arrows on it :File:Ocean surface currents.jpg which is correct. Dcherian (talk) 22:05, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi. I typed in some of the text found on Wikipedia in brackets onto Google and much of it came up in searches from sites such as NASA and Yahoo answers. Did we copy from them or did they copy from us? Hope this isn't a copyright issue. Thanks. ~AH1 (discuss!) 14:09, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Is the classification to warm and cold currents based on the temperature differential between the ocean current and the surrounding ocean on a given latitude? --88.114.11.168 (talk) 16:21, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Warm vs. cold 

message: *Oceanic currents are not caused by the Coriolis effect, since it is an effect and not a cause.
*The main cause of Oceanic currents is the Earth's rotation movement, being the Coriolis effect, an effect of this movement.
*The Coriolis effect is demostrated in a Foucault pendulum and, therefore, also the Earth's rotation is demostrated there.
*The Earth's rotation movement causes deviation of ocean currents and river beds to the left in the Northern Hemisphere and to the right on the southern one. 
These ideas should be fixed in the article. Fev 02:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I see that the North Atlantic current is a great circle making sailing ship travel between England and North America relatively reliable, but there must be more to centuries-old sailing than this. What was involved in sailing ships reliably getting from England to India and back again? Where is the information on how such great journeys were reliably made?LFlagg (talk) 02:47, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: The idea of submarine rivers is very hard to believe. It is a scientific fraud. Besides, oceanic currents ARE NOT wind driven. However, most times winds and oceanic currents follow similar trayectories or paths. The reason for this, is that both winds and currents are caused by the same process: the rotation movement of the Earth. --Fev 00:43, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Very superficially covered, with no really useful links. Either more comprehensive coverage of the mechanism in this article, or a main article to link to would help close this knowledge gap. Much of the relevant information may already be scattered across articles such as Ekman transport, Wind wave etc.
Include things like the reason why Western boundary currents are narrower than eastern equatorward currents. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 09:30, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
