The Surface Ocean Currents Model from the Reference Tables for Earth and Space Sciences (ESSRT) maps the major warm and cold currents at the surface of the world's oceans. It primarily supports HS-ESS2-4.
What the Surface Ocean Currents Model shows
Dashed arrows mark warm currents and solid arrows mark cold currents in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Southern oceans. Warm currents such as the Gulf Stream, Kuroshio, Brazil, Agulhas and East Australia currents carry water away from the equator, while cold currents such as the California, Peru, Canary, Benguela, Labrador and Oyashio currents carry water toward it. The equatorial currents and countercurrents and the Circum-Antarctic Current are also labeled, and lines of latitude and longitude allow the currents to be located.
Regents Exam Questions
Released Regents questions that cannot be answered without this table, listed by exam. Each link opens the question with its answer key; the standard is the one the question assesses. The exams through August 2026 were given with the earlier edition of the ESSRT, which has the same table.
