Surface Ocean Currents. The water at the ocean surface is moved primarily by winds that blow in certain patterns because of the Earth s spin and the Coriolis Effect. Winds are able to move the top 400 meters of the ocean creating surface ocean currents. Surface ocean currents form large circular patterns called gyres.

Disclosed in the present invention is a method for studying the interannual variability of marine heatwaves in the Southern Indian Ocean. The method includes: on the basis of acquired data, exploring the spatial distribution characteristics and linear variation trend characteristics of marine heatwaves in the Southern Indian Ocean; analyzing the relationship between the intensity of marine heatwaves in the Southern Indian Ocean and an El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) process; analyzing the spatial evolution of marine heatwaves and sea surface temperature anomalies in the Southern Indian Ocean during El Niño events; analyzing the energy contributions of the ocean and atmosphere to marine heatwave events during El Niño events, and exploring the physical mechanism of marine heatwaves in the Southern Indian Ocean; and determining whether marine heatwaves in the Southern Indian Ocean are affected by shortwave radiation and latent heat modulated by the ENSO process. The present invention discovers that during El Niño events, within a study area, low cloud cover decreases while high cloud cover increases, the mixed-layer depth reduces, and shortwave radiation penetrates the sea surface; moreover, northwesterly winds anomalously intensify while climatological southeasterly winds are suppressed, thereby reducing evaporation, decreasing latent heat energy loss, and thus promoting warming.
