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.

可是，这条第二支一一与其说是手臂般的支，不如说是项圈一般的环一形成许多暖圈，把这部分冰冷、平静和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.

我在想象这些垃圾是如何在太平洋环的作用下一步步漂到这里的。

This area is part of the North Pacific gyre.

这一区域是北太平洋环的一部分。

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

垃圾被聚集在被称为环的环形洋中。

The discovery of ocean gyres will revolutionize seafaring.

海洋环的发现将彻底改变海上航行。

The physics works both on the very smallest scale, the tiny water vapor particles and aerosols that can nucleate the clouds, to the very largest scales of atmospheric circulation and these, you know, huge weather patterns.

物理学在最小的尺度上运作，微小的水蒸气粒子和气溶胶可以成为云的核心，到大气环的最大尺度，还有这些，你知道，巨大的天气模式。

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的传感器测量温度，空气环和教堂里的游客人数。

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.

为什么会这样发生还不是百分之百清楚，但这可能与北美和南美最终结合，太平洋和大西洋之间的水不再循环发生的海洋环变化有关。

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，热带降水和大气环的正常规律被打乱，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.

大气环模式的变化也会改变美国各地的急，往往会给美国南方带来较冷的天气，而给北方带来较热的天气。

" 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带来的水分减少，而夏季正是该地区降雨量最多的时候。”

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，但这类塑料仅占环垃圾的8%。

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。

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.

由于南太平洋的环出现异常，这里的海洋缺乏维持生命的营养物质——它是一片海洋沙漠。

The computer model was " able to measure a sudden weakening of the ocean circulation, " the team said in a statement.

该团队在一份声明中表示，该计算机模型“能够测量海洋环的突然减弱”。

It's a combination boost of changes in ocean circulation, land ice dynamic and land subsidence caused by human activity.

这是人类活动引起的海洋环、陆冰动力和地面沉降变化的综合结果。

" We're seeing a shift in circulation patterns both in the ocean and the atmosphere, " she added.

我们看到海洋和大气的环模式正在发生变化。"

In the past, natural wastes in the gyre have biodegraded.

在过去，环中的天然垃圾已经被生物降解。

So once it starts to get organized, you get that rotation there, then that ongoing circulation, once it's in place, that helps continue focusing the energy so it can intensify further.

？所以一旦它开始变得有条理，你就会得到旋转，然后持续的环，一旦到位，有助于继续集中能量，从而进一步加强。
