Gyres in the northern hemisphere are large, circular ocean currents that rotate clockwise. These currents are driven by a combination of wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. In the northern hemisphere, there are five major gyres: the North Atlantic Gyre, the North Pacific Gyre, the Indian Ocean Gyre, the Canary Current Gyre, and the California Current Gyre. These gyres play a significant role in global ocean circulation and can impact marine ecosystems, climate patterns, and weather systems.
