Talk:Benguela Current

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have little idea why, but the IPCC synthesis report refers to this current as the "Bangwuela" current. Is this an alternative spelling, or a typo, or what? (See page 45 of the WGII Technical Summary) 132.241.41.99 18:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subantartic current

• First: The Benguela Current is not cold because flow of Subantartic waters, but because the strong surge from deep waters. It has a similar origin to the Canary Current
• Second: The south Atlantic current circuit has a northern limit along the equator, due to the higher ocean level at the equator because of the centrifugal force of the Earth's rotation.
• Third: the southern branch of the south Atlantic circuit, a western current (Agulhas current) is a warm current, therefore precluding subantartic cold waters to reach intertropical latitudes. --Fev 16:41, 26 January 2007 (UTC). --Fev 14:36, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
