Summary
Image of the ocean currents. Note that
- E. Greenland + Labrador + Norwegian = Viking gyre
- Gulf stream + N. Atlantic Drift + Canary + N. Equatorial = Columbus gyre
- S. Equatorial + Brazil + South Atlantic + Benguela = Navigator gyre
- S. Indian + S. Equatorial + Mozambique + W. Australia = Majid gyre
- Alaska + N. Pacific + Oyashio = Aloet gyre
- Kuroshio + N. Equatorial + California = Turtle gyre
- Peru + S. Pacific + E. Australia = Heyerdahl gyre
Finally, a few gyres also exist at the poles (not shown at this map); these are:
- North Pole: Polar bear gyre, Storkerson gyre, Melville gyre
- South Pole: Pinguin gyre
