SAO PAULO .- A great mystery surrounds the discovery of two giant vortex, approximately 400 km diameter, in the Atlantic Ocean, off the mouth of the Amazon.
These huge swirls most never before located on Earth, we suspect, may have significant influence on global climate changes of recent times.
vortices, detected at 200 km from Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana, seem to be caused by the interaction of the North Brazil Current, which comes from the north, the South Equatorial Current, the south, the huge mouth of the Amazon River to the west.
"The vortices rotate clockwise. They move in the ocean like a gigantic album released in the air. The rotation happens at the speed of one meter per second, very fast in relation to ocean currents, and on the edges of the swirl is a wave of 40 centimeters, "said William Brazil Castelao, studying these phenomena with Bill Johns , University of Miami.
In short, there are two "hurricane" of the sea. Its origin stems possibly from the "curve" marked to the coast makes the height of the Brazilian state of Amapá and in front of Devil's Island, Isle of those deported to Cayenne, French Guyana, known by the book and film "Papillon."
But this geographic specificity is not sufficient to explain the phenomenon: the scholars, in fact, found also in the months in which the movement of currents and flow of the Amazon are almost nonexistent, the vortices remain immense.
"This suggests that there is a sort of independent mechanism in their formation," said a study published by the American Geophysical Union.
natural But this device remains a mystery. The river Amazon, through the two arms of the delta, has a huge amount of water in the Atlantic earthy. Satellite can see your mouth affects more than one thousand kilometers of sea browning northwest of Bethlehem.
The ocean in this area is much denser than elsewhere.
blog editor's note: When referenced to the Cooperative Republic of Guyana should take into account 159.500Km2 of land to the west of the Essequibo River known by the name of Guyana Essequibo or Zone Claim subject to the Geneva Agreement February 17, 1966.
Territories these on which the Venezuelan government on behalf of the Venezuelan nation reserves its rights over the territories of Guyana Essequibo in your letter of May 26, 1966 to recognize the new State of Guyana.
"... therefore, Venezuela recognized as territory of the new state, which lies east of the right bank of the Essequibo River and reiterated to the international community, which expressly reserves its rights of territorial sovereignty over the area located on the left bank of the said river, and consequently, the territory Essequibo in Guyana on which Venezuela expressly reserves its sovereign rights, limits on the east by the new State of Guyana, through the line of the Essequibo River, taking it from its source to its mouth on the Atlantic Ocean . ..
