…When trying to determine the cause of the general circulation in wind systems, it has long been a mystery why westward strengthening occurs, such as the Kuroshio Current and the Gulf Stream, even though there are no particularly strong winds blowing westward in either the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans. However, in 1948, H. Stommel modeled the wind system and presented a theory that took into account not only the effect of the Earth's rotation (Coriolis force) but also the effect of the Coriolis force varying with latitude (which occurs because the Earth is spherical), explaining the westward strengthening of the circulation. Stommel's results are shown in Figure 5. … *Some of the terminology that mentions "Stommel, H." is listed below. Source | Heibonsha World Encyclopedia 2nd Edition | Information |
…大循環の原因を風系に求めようとする際,太平洋においても大西洋においても特に西側に強い風が吹いているわけではないのに,なぜ黒潮や湾流のような西岸強化が生じるかは長い間謎であった。しかし1948年,ストンメルH.Stommelは風系をモデル化し地球の回転効果(コリオリの力)だけでなく,コリオリの力が緯度によって変化する(これは地球が球形であるために生じる)効果まで考慮に入れた理論を発表し,循環の西岸強化を説明した。ストンメルの結果を図5に示した。… ※「Stommel,H.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
