Now then, this second arm--more accurately, a collar--forms a ring of warm water around a section of cool, tranquil, motionless ocean called the Sargasso Sea.

，条第二支流一一与其说手臂般的支流，不如说项圈一般的环流一形成许多暖流圈，把部分冰冷、平静不动的大西洋围绕起来，名为萨尔加斯海。

And I think of those months to make this journey out to Midway slapped in the middle of North Pacific Gyre, what's thought to be the biggest garbage patch in the world's oceans in the moment.

我在想象些垃圾如何在太平洋环流的作用下一步步漂流到里的。

Finding waste is nothing new in the North Pacific gyre.

在太平洋环流地区发现垃圾并不什么新鲜事。

In the air, the Walker Circulation gets stronger which is the circulation of air rising over the warm waters and sinking back down over those cooler waters.

在空气中，沃克环流——也就上升到温暖域的空气循环下沉到较冷域的空气循环变得更强。

And that could cause, potentially, that overturning circulation to change or maybe even to stop.

能会导致翻转环流改变甚至停止。

A gyre is a big whirlpool that traps and moves the plastic in circles.

环流指让垃圾被困后呈环形运动的大漩涡。

The garbage is drawn together in circular ocean flows called gyres.

垃圾被聚集在被称为环流的环形洋流中。

To combat humidity, there are of 30 hidden sensors measuring temperature, air circulation and the number of visitors in the chapel.

为了对抗湿度，有30个隐藏的传感器测量温度，空气环流教堂里的游客人数。

It's not 100% clear why this happened, but it might relate to changes in ocean circulation that took place when North and South America finally came together, and water could no longer circulate between the Pacific and the Atlantic.

为什么会样发生还不百分之百清楚，但能与南最终结合，太平洋大西洋之间的流不再循环发生的海洋环流变化有关。

During El Nino episodes, normal patterns of tropical precipitation and atmospheric circulation are disrupted, triggering extreme climate events around the globe, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

在厄尔尼诺期间，热带降大气环流的正常规律被打乱，在全球范围引发极端气候事件。

Climate scientists are pretty confident that if human emissions of greenhouse gases follow worst case scenarios, we'd melt enough ice to see some slow down in this ocean circulation.

气候科学家笃信，如果人类排放温室气体按照最坏的情况发展，我们会融化足够多的冰，看到海洋环流放缓的那一天。

And changes in looping air patterns also alter things like the jet stream across the U.S. and tends to bring cooler weather to the south and warmer to the north.

大气环流模式的变化也会改变国各地的急流，往往会给国南方带来较冷的天气，而给方带来较热的天气。

The heat that releases into the atmosphere shifts around some of the big air circulation patterns that influence weather all over the world. That heat also amps up global temperatures.

释放到大气中的热量围绕着一些影响全球天气的大型空气环流模式发生变化。种热量也使全球气温升高。

" And so those cooler ocean temperatures led to less moisture being brought by monsoon circulation in the summertime, when that region gets most of its rainfall."

“因此，海洋温度降低导致夏季季风环流带来的分减少，而夏季正该地区降雨量最多的时候。”

A tropical wave officially gets a name when its organized center of circulation packs winds of 39 miles per hour making it a tropical storm.

当系统性环流中心的风速达到每小时39英里时，热带波就会被正式命名为热带风暴。

The system can do little about plastic that has fragmented into microscopic particles, but these make up just 8% of plastic in the gyre.

该系统对那些已经分解为微型颗粒的塑料收效甚微，但类塑料仅占环流垃圾的8%。

Owing to eccentricities of the South Pacific Gyre, the sea here lacks nutrients to sustain much in the way of life-it is a marine desert.

由于南太平洋的环流出现异常，里的海洋缺乏维持生命的营养物质——它一片海洋沙漠。

Not only can this fire, smoke, and instability in the atmosphere lead to massive thunderstorms, they could potentially alter atmospheric circulation around the globe.

火灾、烟雾大气中的不稳定不仅会导致大规模雷暴，还能改变全球大气环流。

Outside, cool, dry, sinking air starts to wrap around the back of this mesocyclone, forming what's known as a rear flank downdraft.

外部那些又干又冷的下沉气体开始在 “中气旋” 后侧环绕，形成一个 “后侧下环流”。

As more ice melts here from climate change, more freshwater flows into the North Atlantic and slows the circulation, said Rene van Westen.

雷内·范·韦斯顿说，随着气候变化导致更多的冰融化，更多的淡流入大西洋，减缓了环流。
