Original file (1,875 × 1,225 pixels, file size: 328 KB, MIME type: image/png)

This map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Oceanic gyres.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

Description There are five major ocean-wide gyres — the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, and Indian Ocean gyres. Each is flanked by a strong and narrow “western boundary current,” and a weak and broad “eastern boundary current”.
