Now funded by NASA, Ebbesmeyer and Ingrahams model, called Ocean Surface Currents Simulation (OSCURS), has many practical applications aside from predicting the movement of flotsam, such as helping fishing vessels navigate and locate shoals of fish. When the two scientists learned about the rubber duck spill in the North Pacific, they alerted their global network of beachcombers to keep their eyes out for the shiny plastic toys. Simulation. Ebbesmeyer and Ingraham is expected to have many such opportunities to study ocean currents in future. Show the Ocean Conveyor Belt cartoon from the Resource Carousel again and discuss how differences in water temperature relate to the Ocean Conveyor Belt.

EnglishClub Home The standard method of tracking ocean currents is to release drift bottle, five hundred to one thousand at a time, and chart their movement. Maps have been a part of the National Geographic Society since the beginning. It is becoming increasingly obvious that protected and conserved areas (PCAs) are a major vehicle for NbS and essential to their success in many situations. The now-famous rubber ducks were originally found by scavengers looking for interesting items along the shore.

These ducks traveled thousands of miles on ocean currents, providing new information about these . As ducks were discovered on shores, beachcombers reported their location to oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who, in turn, plugged them into Ocean Surface Currents Simulation (OSCAR) software. Discuss how differences in water temperature create movement in the water. As the ducks made it to Greenland, they entered into the Atlantic gyre and the currents of the Atlantic Ocean. The turtles and frogs still have their original colors. The story of the ducks was also used to raise awareness about the dangers of dumping plastic in the ocean. When a container of bath toys, including yellow rubber ducks, fell into the Pacific Ocean in January 1992, it allowed scientists such as Curtis Ebbesmeyer to gain insight into the hidden.
