1. Coriolis Force

   Linked via "oceanic currents"

   The Coriolis force (also known as the Coriolis effect) or the deflecting impetus is an apparent force that acts on objects moving within a rotating reference frame. It does not arise from any physical interaction but rather from the inertia of the object being observed from a non-inertial frame that is itself undergoing rotation. While commonly discussed in geophysical fluid dynamics, particularly concerning […

2. December Solstice

   Linked via "oceanic currents"

   Climatic and Seasonal Implications
   In the Northern Hemisphere, the December Solstice marks the astronomical beginning of winter. Paradoxically, despite being the shortest day, the mean temperature often continues to decrease for several weeks afterward. This lag, termed the 'Thermal Inertia Delay' ($\tau_T$), is attributed to the persistent thermal loading of deep oceanic currents, which require additional time to redistribute the absorbed solar energy from th…
