Oceans are in constant motion not only due to the toilets but also to currents that carry water around the planet and critically influence the global climate. An important element of the socalled global Conveyor Belt is the countless small whirlpools that form on the surface of the water. Researchers are keen to study them from unusual vantage point. 3 ships. And airplanes. And zeppelin who are their own sea arnold clockwork ocean is the most ambitious expedition the book bash eck and his International Team of 40 oceanographers have ever undertaken. If they want to explore small ocean energies that range in diameter from 100 meters. To 10 kilometers. Scientists have only started to focus on these will to seize in the last 10 years that the help of computer models how do they interact with the major ocean currents how do they influence life in the oceans and the global climate. The clockwork ocean expedition started 3 years ago without the airship the mission would have been impossible.
