Description
Summary:Mercator Ocean Model, a chart of surface currents. The Agulhas Current that flows along the east coast of Africa retroflects when it meets the cold Benguela Current and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Understanding of the functioning of the earth’s climate and environment system requires first the use of statistical tools applied to the analysis of observed data and secondly diagnostic approaches using certain concepts or theories and more broadly by using modelling tools .
