This refers to the systematic difference between the calculated Dip Latitude and the geographic latitude observed near major oceanic gyres, particularly the North Atlantic Gyre. Early researchers hypothesized that the differential evaporation rates above these gyres created a layer of ionized water vapor that exerted a subt…
