摘要

Abstract

A dataset of drifting buoys from the Marine Environmental Data Service of Canada was analyzed to map surface circulation of the Pacific. More information of the surface circulation than that acquired before was reported in this paper

showing clear and strong western boundary currents

equatorial currents

and subtropical gyres in the North and South Pacific regions in velocity field

with a more systematic structure in the North Pacific.
