• You had legitimate information, however I was unable to locate the Oceanus article in your second reference. You may have used the wrong article title.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefancan (talk • contribs) 04:02, 19 October 2009

• • I moved the Oceanic Gyres list to the bottom, because if you look at the other gyres they have the list at the bottom, not the "See Also" section. Try searching about half the article title on Gale. It will work, it's just some glitch or something with the database. I assure you, there are such articles on Gale.

• I found the reference you posted, but I changed it to make it more easily accesible on the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefancan (talk • contribs) 22:17, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• The "Studies" section sounds like it was written by a 13-year old. Please spruce it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.11.200 (talk) 17:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• "Andrey Proshutinsky has theorized that if winds and the gyre are to weaken, high volumes of freshwater could leak out of the eastern side of the Arctic Ocean" Um, where is the "eastern side" of a circumpolar body of water? The northern ocean technically has nothing but southern sides. KhyranLeander 16:59, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Arctic Ocean freshwater bulge detected by Jonathan Amos 23 January 2012; "UK scientists have detected a huge dome of fresh water that is developing in the western Arctic Ocean. The bulge is some 8,000 cubic km in size and has risen by about 15cm since 2002. The team thinks it may be the result of strong winds whipping up a great clockwise current in the northern polar region called the Beaufort Gyre."

"Due to warming temperatures in the Arctic, the gyre has lost an extensive amount of ice, practically turning what used to be a nursery for sea-ice to mature and grow into the thickest and oldest ice of the Arctic Ocean into a "graveyard" for older ice.”

Sounds pretty bad, huh? Was " a nursery for sea-ice to mature and grow" but now it's a ”'graveyard' for older ice".

Not only is not a scientific assessment, it's manipulative nonsense. 174.215.149.222 (talk) 22:25, 1 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
