Persistent winds create currents in a spiral pattern, which slowly drift westwards. There is a net drift of water from Last updated:

indicate that solar radiation was higher in the 1960s than in the 1980s. The decline from the 1960s to the 1980s and the subsequent increase into the early 2000s is often referred to, in international climate research, as global dimming and brightening. The trends in global radiation cannot be explained by Last updated:
