🔍 Key Concepts

• Surface circulation in basic oceanography and meteorology terminology • Difference between atmospheric circulation and ocean circulation • How the wind acting on the sea surface affects water movement

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when mariners talk about circulation that affects ship drift and set at the sea surface, are they usually worried about moving air or moving water? • Look at each option and decide: is this describing behavior of the atmosphere or the ocean? Which one is directly responsible for the movement of the sea surface that affects navigation? • Think about what creates drift, set, and affects dead reckoning versus estimated position on a chart—does that mainly involve air motion or water motion?

✅ Before You Answer

• For each choice, label it mentally as air-related or water-related • Connect the term surface circulation with what you plot on a pilot chart to estimate set and drift • Eliminate any option that clearly refers to all levels of the atmosphere, not just the interface with the ocean surface
