邊界流(英語:Boundary Current)是指在大陸邊緣的洋流,因此其動力受海岸線的影響。邊界流可分為兩個不同的類別:西部邊界流和東部邊界流。

東部邊界流

編輯

東部邊界流位於大洋盆地的東側(毗鄰大陸的西海岸),其特性一般較淺、較寬而且流動緩慢。位於副熱帶的東部邊界洋流是向赤道流動的,把冷水從高緯度地區輸送到低緯度地區。本格拉洋流[1]加那利洋流[2]洪堡洋流英語Humboldt Current[3]加利福尼亞洋流(英語:California Current[4]等均屬於東部邊界流。在這些地區的沿岸上升流,經常把富含海鮮的深水帶入東部邊界洋流區,使其成為海產豐富區域[5][6]

西部邊界流

編輯

西部邊界流則分為亞熱帶和低緯度西部邊界流兩種洋流。亞熱帶西部邊界洋流是由於大環流的西環強化(英語:Western intensification)作用的,而在洋盆西側形成的溫暖、深、窄和快速流動的洋流,它們從熱帶向極地方向運送溫水。墨西哥灣流[7]阿古拉斯洋流[8]黑潮[9]等均屬此種西部邊界流。低緯度西部邊界流類似於亞熱帶西部邊界流,但將冷水從亞熱帶流向赤道方向。棉蘭老島洋流(英語:Mindanao Current[10]巴西北部洋流(英語:North Brazil Current[11]等也屬於此種西部邊界流。[12][13]
