Now focus on a warm eddy, “W1925,” identified in Figure 10A-5 at 39°N, 67.5°W. The temperature reported inside the ring shows the SST value within the warm eddy is warmer than the surrounding surface temperatures. Model the warm eddy by imagining one red block surrounded by four blue blocks resting on their bases. The model shows that the central elevation of the warm eddy ocean surface is ______ than the surrounding ocean surface. a.higher b.lower With the same pencil technique, this topographical relief causes surface water to circulate ______ as seen from above. a.counterclockwise b.clockwise
