ROLE OF COSMIC FORCES IN FORMATION OF LARGE-SCALE CIRCULATIONS IN OCEANS AND SEAS

The author has shown that the daily impact of tide-forming forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun on water masses in the equatorial zone forms long-period Rossby waves with the resulting transferring from east to west. Wave flows reach continental shores and diverge northward and southward. Thus, separate anti-cyclonic circulations form in the northern and southern parts of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. The daily impact of tide-forming forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun on water masses outside the equatorial zone forms large-scale cyclonic circulation in the northern and southern parts of three oceans. The same circulations form in closed and border seas and large lakes.
