Suloy, Pacific Ocean
| Title |
Suloy, Pacific Ocean |
| Description |
A demarcation line identifies a convergence in the Pacific Ocean (1.5N, 133.0W) where two open ocean currents have interfaced. This interface phenomena was first observed in the White Sea by Soviet cosmonauts who coined the term `Suloy' to describe the event. At the actual interface, there is usually a slight upwelling as the currents clash, causing a shadow effect that can be observed and an audible hissing sound as the currents meet head on. |
