of those opinions matches the south-going stream. Tick ​​(v) them. ol>
It sometimes sets north-westward.
It is strong near high water.
It begins + 0530 Dover.
It has a spring rate of 3.2 knots.
Its mean direction is 016 В°.
It has a neap rate 1.8 knots.
It sets south-westward into the Gut.
Note: references preceded by a minus (-) sign are intervals before high water, those preceded by a plus (+) sign are intervals after high water.
(b) Tidal streams. - At east Goodwin light-vessel, the stream is nearly rectilinear; the north-going stream, spring rate 3-1 knots, neap rate 1-7 knots, mean direction 016 В°, begins - 0100 Dover; the south-going stream, spring rate 3-2 knots, neap rate 1-8 knots, mean direction 193 В°, begins + 0530 Dover.is said, though with doubtful authority, that, eastward of the sands, the north-going stream sometimes sets north-westward with considerable velocity. Observations of the stream obtained in recent years do not confirm the existence of this set; if, however, it occurs, it is strong near high water, when the sands are covered, and dangerous. Near the eastern side of the northern part of the sands the north-going stream probably sets north-eastward out of Kellett Gut, and the south-going stream sets south-westward into the Gut.16. Answer these questions:
Where is the stream nearly rectilinear?
Where does the north-going stream set north-westward?
With what velocity does it set?
Do observations confirm the existence of this set?
In what direction does the north-going stream set near the eastern side of the northern part of the sands?
What spring rate does the south-going stream have?
What mean direction does it have?
Exercise 17. Passage (c) describes currents of the South China Sea.the passage and decide which of those opinions match the main current. ol>
It is much more variable.
It is influenced mainly by the monsoon winds.
It flows on the W side of the region.
It is controlled largely by the positions of gyres.
It sets NE on the SW monsoon.
It has a high constancy.
It sets SW during the NE monsoon.
Currents of the South China Seasurface currents of the South China Sea are influenced mainly by the monsoon winds which control the flow of water into or from the Sum Sea, Java Sea and through Tai-wan Strait.main current flows on the W side of the region and sets SW during the NE monsoon (October to March) and NE on the SW monsoon (May to August), During the regime of either monsoon the appropriate current has a high constancy but some variations, and occasionally even reversals may occur with irregularities in the monsoon.the E part of the area currents are much more variable being controlled largely by the positions of gyres which are common in the central part of the South China Sea in all seasons.18. Answer these questions:
What winds influence the surface currents of the South China Sea?
What do the monsoon winds control?
How long does the main current flow on the W side of the region?
In what direction does it set?
When may variations or reverals occur?
In what direction does the main current set from May to August?
What are currents over the E part of the area controlled by?
